Interns. We all have 'em and let's face it, they're a rowdy sexy bunch.

But what do you do when they're acting out of line? These boys plague me to no end!

Instead of coffee give them an unapologetic mug of piss. Not to drink, just a reminder of the difference between an intern and an employee.

You see, this is the kind of lazy, entitled behavior in talking about. My generation went and fought for our freedom, and now you come in here talking about pay. When I was your age I had nothing but a chipper attitude and a strong work ethic. Now look at me. Just pay your dues, and stop complaining. Then get me a latte and if you gently caress up my order so help me god you're getting industry blacklisted

It's always really funny when social worker interns accompany me and the Sheriff's Office on a removal where poo poo goes South quickly, they invariably stand in the corner as far away from everyone else as possible with their arms crossed as tightly as possible like they are trying to shrink from the room and the sudden realization of what this job actually entails hits them and they look like they're trying their hardest not to cry during the whole thing, like a Jon pop hooker

a fun game to play with your interns is to call them over to help you with the big account and then make them watch you jack off at your desk telling them that the big account is your penis

Another good thing to do with interns is to put them into situations where they are way out of their league and pretend like you expect them to know what they're doing, watching them flailing in terror is pretty funny

Out here, everything hurts


We have a 6'6 intern from Sudan who works harder than the rest of the office combined. Frankly if we had another one of her I could fire about 7 people and I could embezzle lots of money and retire at 40.

This is actually looking like a viable strategy

Just hire 4 times more than you need. At intervals, before the need to pay them kicks in, fire them. Let them know this in advance. Eventually, fire all of them, because, you know, interns are essentially useless.
