I promise this blog won’t be nearly as bad as the movie which holds the same name. I watched it on a flight from Miami to Chicago. My headphones weren’t working and I still understood and predicted the whole thing. You know what movie I am talking about? The one with the chick from Gilmore Girls? Bitch should have stuck with that show instead of making this awful movie. 

Anyways. On Saturday (May 15) I received that lovely piece of paper. You know, the one that only cost me, Oh…I don’t know…$120,000. Thanks, Mom and Dad! Can’t wait to reunite as roomies in August!

So as of now I am basically unemployed. I mean, I have a job but five days out of the week they have me doing this “on call” bullshit. Basically I can’t make plans EVER just in case I am needed at this awesome job. It’s an Italian restaurant/pizza joint. On the bright side, it’s in the heart of Lincoln Park so I can expect to be serving a bunch of uptight, high maintenance rich folk. 

I guess I should get the nads to ask my internship for a paid position. The worst they can say is “no” right? Or maybe they would go on a tirade explaining all the reasons I am unqualified for a position. Come to think of it…my boss did call me incompetent one time…

“Do you know how to work the mailing machine?” (or something of that sort)

Puzzled and distraught look.

“No…..”

A few minutes later.

“Well, since you’re incompetent I’ll do that and you just do this.” 

Hands me a stack of something to work on. I die a little inside. 

The point is I have a degree now. Having interns that aren’t getting credit (which I’m not and I DID NOT) is illegal. Basically I am doing slave labor. Although experience is priceless it doesn’t pay the gas bill. Or the water bill. Or the heating bill. Or…anything.

Corey: If you’re reading this I am just angry and scared. I appreciate everything you and the crew have done for me. This really has been an invaluable experience. You were in my shoes once. I’m sure you understand. 

Corey is my boss at my internship. He’s cool. 

These are seriously the shit. I am bringing them to a class potluck tomorrow. 

OH YEAH.
