As the Summer of 2008 nears the end, so does my magnificent Manhattan internship. Today is my last day, and although I will not miss the morning commute, I will miss the people terribly.
I walked into this internship not knowing much about the company or my duties, and I am walking out with a bit more knowledge, some amazing advice, and the great feeling of having met some incredible people. I fit right in with a provocative and loud sense of humor that was equally countered by almost everyone else. I will miss laughing a little too loudly and cursing a bit too much for any work environment. And yet, in spite of this pseudo-corporate environment, the laughing and the cursing and the sarcasm and the slight faux homosexuality was not only accepted, but embraced.
As five-o’clock hit yesterday, eight of the eleven people in the office headed to the bar across the street to get silly with one another. It was an amazing night with some amazing people, and although they kindly asked me not to post pictures on my blog, I am going to anyway so my world of readers (three people if I’m lucky that day) can see how horribly silly my coworkers are and all of the reasons why I will miss them forever.
This is dedicated to Tim, Kat, & Matt: Got ittttt.
