Where's My Cake?

Short week. Because of the holiday I am only in the office on Wednesday and Thursday. This week also marks the halfway point of my summer internship. Not that I'm counting down until I can wake up at 11:00 everyday and nurse my horrible hangover by going to the beach and biting the bear that bit me. This blog will become 100x more interesting come August 10th. I guess I'll have to change the name from "The Intern" to "Recovering from the Night Before". Today feels like I'm recovering from the passed 4 nights. Fourth of July is my new favorite holiday.

Remember the whole cake ordeal? Well, Thursday is my birthday. Let's see if I get a cake. Its only fair, right? I contributed to some one else's birthday so it only makes sense that I receive the same treatment. Just plain old vanilla and chocolate ice cream cake will do. You know, The kind with the little crunchy chocolate separating the two flavors. I'm not picky.

I read a great article concerning internships on Thursday in the Wall Street Journal. Too bad the wall street journal isn't available online otherwise I would provide a link.

The article explained how employers that hire interns are beginning to ask that they receive school credit for the internships as opposed to being paid hourly. Since students have to pay for the credits it really makes no sense whatsoever. The article went on to explain how some universities do not want to give full credit or sometimes any credit at all because they do not believe that it is an academic endeavor.

If you ask me they're both full of shit. The employers don't want to put their hand in their pocket and the schools don't want to give away any credits. One side has to give. Yet the students have no choice. No internships, no job.

I sent out sample products to the bloggers today as I continue to search for other credible blogs that pitch. Not too much else going on over here. Everyone is pretty quiet around here today. Something must be going around. Everyone has headaches and bags under their eyes. Wonder what it could be?
