Interns saying dumb things...

    Best I ever heard from an intern, who was on the phone when she was supposed to be writing a school board story on deadline.

    "This is such bullshit. They'd never have had me do this at the New York Times."

    Our sports intern didn't realize there was a chick in the department until he made a bad and slightly sexist joke, prompting me to stand up and said, "Hey, I'm a girl, dammit." He's now on his best behavior, and he's a helluva writer.

    What was the joke?

    Something about a girl being passed around like a bag of M&Ms. I've heard it before from the guys. I think they were trying to get him in trouble.

    Our paper's interns (there are none in sports, sadly) are blogging on the web site.

    It is unintentionally hilarious comedy. I eagerly await every installment.

    No freaking way I was that clueless when I was in their position. No freaking way. ;D

    Getting an internship at my last paper was almost like a guaranteed letter of employment. We hired no less than five or six interns as full-time employees in the four years I was there.

    Hey, how can this thread have gotten this far without a mention of the ever-great Krystal Grow, America's most noted intern (next to Monica Lewinsky, of course)?

    Fuck, I've been here almost 14 years and I'm still typing in bowling scores. I can't wait to get back to school and get the hell outta here! :D

    So where is Krazy Krystal these days and what is she up to?

    About three months ago I did a Google search for her, wondering where she ended up. Certainly not at Spin Magazine, right?

    I just did a Google for her, although not under News, just to review all the crap from last summer.

    The generation that's coming out of college now is filled with Krystal Grows. Most of them don't get widespread notoriety, though.

    Most of them didn't try to crash HST's funeral, either.
