Intern Chick

7:00 AM:  I woke up in cold sweats from the scariest dream about that guy from Saw V, mind you, I've never even SEEN any of the Saw movies

8:00 AM:  Still awake

10:24:  Awoken by an e-mail on my phone (thanks Mom!), sh*t I'm late!!!!

10:34:  Out the shower, trying to figure out what to do with my hair and what to wear, the two most challenging things I go through on a daily basis

11:00:  Chatting online with my AIM buddies because if you're going to be late, you might as well go all out.

11:12:  Brush my teeth while simultaneously putting shoes on (this is probably why I usually get tooth paste on my shirt) and I'm out the door

11:20:  Wait for the train

11:30:  The train comes and I think about how usually I'm at work by now, and I wonder if Vin is there yet.

11:40:  Buying my 7 grain bagel and water at the deli near my job, I think they stock their refrigerator right before I come because my water is always warm.

11:42: Awkwardly waiting for the elevator after watching the guards' lick their lips at me while feeling their eyes on my back...I'm convinced every woman must go through this in order to enter the building

11:45:  Arrive at my desk before my boss, score one for the intern!

11:46:  Check Vin and Big Boss' messages, set up my computer, look at my bagel, decide I'm not hungry,  and check my e-mail

12:00 PM: Read and and respond to an e-mail from one of my roommates back at school, this is a daily occurrence to pass the time for both of us and I love it because writing an e-mail looks like you're doing work

12:30: Take a phone call from my boyfriend, Vin strolls in, of course I haven't been on the phone this whole time and he comes in 2 seconds after I get on the phone

12:31:   Vin asks why there is a loaf of Italian bread on his desk...it damn sure wasn't from me, I'm no kiss ass.  He goes to find the culprit, I get off the phone.

12:40: Awkward silence...then Vin questions me if I've figured out how to hack Photoshop so that I can use it for free (this has been going on for two or three weeks now)

12:45:  Receive an e-mail from him to download a file that will help me hack it.  I don't want to do it but I have no choice, so I download it.  Yep, its a virus.  Thank goodness my school required I put anti-virus software on my computer and it deleted it immediately.  Ha, Vin, try again

1:00:  Continue on the project I've been working on since my first day that I curse every time I sit down at my desk

1:05: Vin and I get into a small argument...normally I'd let it slide but I'm clearly annoyed that my BOSS sent me a VIRUS so my patience was wearing slim.  I'm still too mad about it to explain here.

1:20:  Go to the mail room to mail a CD filled with the worst beats I've ever heard in my life to someone I've never heard of

2:00:  Make myself a hair appointment for this weekend and thank one of my old bosses for referring me.

2:30:  Vin's first departure from the office...I take phone calls, these being some of the more weird ones I've had.  I also use this opportunity to write back to my roommate again

3:00: His second departure, I take more phone calls and write another e-mail

4:00:  I lose focus and begin to google random happenings in the music industry...did you know D. Woods put out a "diss song" ????  

5:00: Third departure (these are never important by the way), I e-mail my roommate for the last time

6:53:  I start shutting my down, take a trip to the bathroom and by the time I come back its 7

7:00: Say goodbye to Vin and catch the elevator as soon as its passing my floor

7:02:  Starbucks trip, otherwise I'll never make it through the rest of the day.  I highly suggest the Banana Chocolate Vivanno if thats your thing...it has protein in it to keep my going!

7:07:  Observe the man walking around with a cat on his head and almost walk into another person because I am staring so bad...I thought I wasn't seeing this, but I looked again and it really was there, perched on his head as if he were just wearing a hat.  Oh New York, full of crazies and I can never get enough of it

7:10: Arrive at the train station just in time to see the train I need leaving the tracks, this happens to me at least twice a week.  I'm pretty sure the subway station is rotting itself to nothingness and leaks from the ceilings, so its like a maze navigating through the drips (I can proudly say I've only been dripped on once)

7:15:  The train comes and I actually get a seat next to a nice woman flipping through Elle magazine, I take a look too...did you know purple is in this season?

7:21:  Get off the train and grab dinner to-go at Quizno's, they're out of medium cups so I  either have to buy a large or a small...is this a rip off or what? If they're the ones out of cups, shouldn't I just get a large for the medium price...it's not my fault you're unprepared!  This is bad business

7:30: Walk into my hotel, say hello to my favorite security guard, grab the elevator and cross my fingers that I don't get locked out of my room again

7:35:  Get into my room and wonder, "Am I really this messy or has my room been ransacked?" (It was just me, not to worry), start changing for the gym, take a quick call from another one of my roommates from school for some gossip while I look for my left sneaker (expertly hidden underneath my some dirty clothes...isn't that where everyone keeps their sneakers??)

7:45:  Start my workout, there's actually a treadmill open, its my lucky day

8:55:  Realize my favorite show is on at 9:00, not 10:00 and I better haul ass up to my room to watch it even though I still have 30 minutes left of my workout and I don't want to cut it short.

9:00 Make it up to my room just in time, shower during the first commercial break and during the second break I go upstairs to heat up my soup from Quizno's

9:30:  This is my favorite part of the day--my first opportunity to sit down and eat my dinner and set up my computer!  I start working on job #2 while watching the Making the Band Season Finale in the hand mirror on my desk because the TV is behind me.  This way I can watch and work at the same time. Multitasking is the key to success

10:00: Break from working to write this blog.

10:40:  Still writing this blog!  After this I'm going to do some more work, hopefully only until 12:30 then I'll get in bed, and I'll be lucky if I fall asleep before 2 AM.  Wake up tomorrow (on time) and repeat.

Congratulations, you've made it to the end of my day...wasn't that fun!!?
