The Internship: Week 1

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: June 19, 2009

Woah. Hold the press. What an inspiring and original title.

Mmmph. Let’s just say I have a new found appreciation for people who do clerical work. It. Is. Boring.

I also have a new found appreciation for a working mouse. Have you tried making a flow chart with a mouse that clicks on everything that doesn’t move? I have. It takes awhile. 

All of me is still trying to figure out just what exactly gets accomplished at meetings. They last for a couple o’hours and discussions end up nowhere and things get… done? I assume they do. The conclusions were probably lost to me in a sea of acronyms. ABC soup. But considering there’s 26 letters in the English alphabet and assuming each acronym is on average 3 letters long there’s 26×26x26 acronyms… which means by the end of these 7 weeks I would have replaced everything I have ever learned about statistical analysis with acronyms. I haven’t decided if that’s a good or a bad thing. Will get back to you on that.

While at the end of the day I don’t much mind work (I find ways to amuse myself) I do want to crawl back into my childhood cause I realize what real life looks like and it involves that ‘r’ word… Responsibility. GASP! WAaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHH.

Ostrich time.
