It's Nice To Be Needed

0 comments Posted by Intern Chick at 10:51 PM

I have to admit, I was a little more than slightly jealous when Vin hired a new intern to replace me after I left.  Not that I don't want someone around to help him and Big Boss, but really just because I didn't want them to like her better than me!

Obviously, I got over it because leaving that internship meant I was also leaving my duties as Professional Car Sitter for Big Boss.  At the end of January, I e-mailed Big Boss to thank her for the opportunity to work for her, something all outgoing interns should do!  Also, I wanted her to remember me, particularly when May rolls around and I'm in need of a job.  She wrote me back thanking me and saying she would welcome me back anytime.  I figured probably as an intern, but to be recognized, and thanked, for my hard work was well enough for me.  That same day, I got an e-mail from Vin asking for some myspace help.  He didn't know about my exchange with Big Boss, but it just so happened both e-mails arrived the same day.
I was intrigued, to say the least, by the e-mail from Vin.  I didn't understand why he wasn't having his new intern do this.  Did she not know how to do it?  Did she quit like I had wanted to so many times during those early days?  Did she do such a good job that she was above myspace maintenance???  I signed on AIM and sure enough Vin was online so I IMed him, and explained how to update the page how he wanted.  Then I stopped, remembering that as an intern, my main job is to make my boss' life easier, so I asked if he just wanted me to go ahead and do it.  I updated the page while we talked and finally I asked how the new intern was working out and he said that there wasn't enough money to pay interns the big weekly stipend anymore so the company only kept the really valuable interns that were in the office more than 2 days a week.  I felt kind of bad for him, to go from having two interns to none, and told him I didn't mind helping out if the page ever needed updates.  He thanked me and told me he'd definitely keep me in mind if he heard about any job openings.  Obviously something I love.
I got another e-mail from him last week asking for more help.  As much as I hate messing around with myspace codes that never seem to work quite how you thought they would, it sure is nice to be needed!

I think I have more to offer all of you than just my crazy, hard to believe, intern stories. Being an intern has become a lifestyle for me and not something that has been easy, either! With that said, I'm going to be providing more for my faithful readers.

Some ideas I'm throwing around right now are more Secret Admirer entries (for all my music fanatics), interviews with other intern and industry experts, tips for getting an internship, keeping an internship, living on an intern budget, and eventually leaving that internship (all with style), and something I'm really excited about...featured intern guests who will write about their own experiences as an intern to give those of you who are thinking about interning but not necessarily in the music industry more of an idea of what to expect.

I love reading your e-mails, and comments, so please keep writing and let me know what you want to see or read more of, and even what you want to see less of! If you want to contribute to my blog as an intern guest, please e-mail me at theinternchick@gmail.com and I'd be happy to have you!

Make sure to follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/Internchick)
..and come be my friend on Myspace, it gets lonely over there! (http://www.myspace.com/internchick)

I may even post a picture or two of me for all you inquiring minds ;-)
