I'm An Intern In New York

Spiffying Up The Intern Dungeon

The room where I'm stationed is very bland and boring. There are a few South Park posters, and there's a Drawn Together poster, and there's one poster for Porn'n Chicken. It's all very exciting as you can no doubt tell by the exclamation point ending this sentence!

By the by, using the word "stationed" makes me sound more professional, like I'm a peace keeper working for the U.N. Well, that's an exaggeration. Our accommodations are slightly better than that of a U.N. peace keeper's accommodations. For example, we have two buckets in which to defecate in. One for pee and one for poop. U.N. peace keepers usually only have one. Score for us.

So, I'm doing my best to spice things up in the intern dungeon, spiffy up the decorum a bit. I've added two windows to the room. One window has a view that is nice. One window has a view that is mediocre at best. But both are drawn on pieces of paper and taped to the wall.



Now, you probably want to know why I drew one window with a view that is mediocre at best, when I could have drawn them all having fantastic views. But think about that. As a realist, I know that our world isn't made up of fantastic views. Would you want to look out into your paper-window world everyday knowing that it was just one big lie?

Maybe you choose to draw paper-window worlds where people live in harmony and bathe in butterscotch waterfalls; you're quite welcome to do so. But you know what happens in my paper-window world? Babies cry, friend. That's right. Think about that while you choke down your butterscotch waterfalls.

See you Friday!
