intern for summer break!

im interning at The Edge for two months!! :) so no more HIMYM marathon in the morning, and all my other series and sleeping till noon and im so sad :( but kinda exciting too! it's my third day of work, and everything is still kinda laid back , kinda boring for now but im pretty sure in the next few posts im gonna start talking about how im going to die being drowned with work beyond my smartness hahaha. okay kidding. i hope i dont post so much of that. but i picked up a few things along the way. well kind of picked up :D 


people come really late to the office. when late, it means about 10, 11, 12. thats the really cool thing about working in a newspaper company because they stay back late for work at night to finish up the publications for the printing of newspapers which starts midnight! i mean it's kind of cool! i dont mind coming in late to work if i have to stay back a little later. and im so happy cos the office is just next door to Tesco!!! i can go to Tesco everyday during lunch break woohoo! but most of the time i just chill at Borders after lunch which is fun! and the office is so near my house, thanks Jesus :') 


met a few nice colleagues, they are so experienced and talented. i just spoke to one of the senior financial writer, and he's so funny and so well darn equipped in his expertise of the financial world and sites. he just came back from Ukraine after the Euro2012, Calsberg sponsored him for this trip! perks of working in the Editorial Department! he asked me if im a mad woman because he doesnt understand why i have to intern here. he says i will cry when they start giving me work and wished i could reverse the clock back to when i had nothing to do. he's been working at other newspaper companies for really long so he's really experienced but he's humble too. he went there with a few other friends from other newspaper companies and he said they were like a bunch of psychos in the plane because they served beer all the way until there and they had at least 15 bottles of beer each day and they scared off all the angmohs on the plane hahaha.


other than that, all i do is just read papers and news these three days which is kinda mundane but i am now at least better in all these business foreign news thing which i didnt know a shit about before this. and while i was reading some news in New York Times this morning, guess what i found http://www.uknowkids.com/. this is like a website where parents can monitor their child's activities on social media websites where they can see what they do at all times. even if their kids drive and text at the same time. if i saw this article a few years back i would most probably be like what the shit, only psycho parents would this have they no sense of privacy etc and all the teenage emotional rage hahaha. but now when im looking at it, im like WHADDAP THIS IS THE BEST WEBSITE EVER! this is the website im gonna use to monitor my children next time! okay kidding, unless it goes out of hand. :D okay i dunno what im talking about. 


and they have a coffee making machine in office, i just tried this drink chocolate plus coffee or something plus something but it is so good!!!!! and so sweet so i'll probably get diabetes by the end of my internship :D i hope everything goes well and looking forward to more exciting happenings! 


and going to watch Brave tonight with lis, oh yeah!!
