Red Swingline Stapler. Classic.
The folks over at Think Geek are offering two very important items. One is for work. One is for getting fat after work. They are both important and life-changing.
If you want to be the coolest intern on the block (er…in the office), you need to get the classic Red Swingline stapler ($21.99) . Milton would be proud.
Beautiful.
Do you wish you could justify your reality television addiction with something more substantive than: “I’m genuinely interested in the well-being and marital status of Real Housewives of ________” …? Well, this is your opportunity.

Interns learn to live off of freebies. It’s a necessity. You aren’t getting paid, you might as well drink all the free Coke you can, steal sugar packets, whatever.
The lucky few get the occasional free lunch, coffee, leftover pizza. Most of us are stuck hauling sad little sandwiches that make the lunch your mom packed for you in 1st grade look/taste like a $200, 5-star gourmet sandwich. The lunch of an intern can be pretty pathetic. How pathetic?
Question: Where do you turn when you get hooked on free lunches but the boss is out of town?
Answer: The pretzel jar.
Have you always wanted to be like Gordon Gekko?
Michael Douglas as a douc...I mean, Gordon Gekko
Inspired by the current shenanigans on Wall St.? What you can achieve as an investment banker these days is impressive:
-Suck at your job
-Contribute to the economic collapse of an entire nation
-Be hated by everyone you know while doing “business” on your gold-rimmed throne (a la former Merrill Lynch CEO Jon Thain)
-Make stupid amounts of money. Recessions are tough on everyone. Except you! Keep them bonuses a’comin’!
Pure gold.
The only drawback? You may be left for dead atop the Charging Bull on Wall St.:
Intern left for dead on Charging Bull.
You gotta start somewhere. Read about the drunk/dead/gored/soon-to-be-filthy-rich-anyway-so-don’t-feel-bad-for-him Intern over at Dealbreaker or submit your entry for “Caption Contest Friday: Anyone missing an Intern?”
Our personal fav: “Getting gored is the new killing it.” Nice.
Wanted: One Dutch Speaking Intern
Ok Go has gone and done it again. Oh haha, la-dee-da. I’m so nonchalant about making reference to pop-culture, I don’t even know how it has come to pass. Oh dearie! *Stopping now.*
Intern Inc. needs someone who can build us a Rube Goldberg. If you can speak Dutch, all the better. Email us: internwhisperer@gmail.com or Tweeterize at us @internwhisperer. Why Dutch, you ask?
WHY NOT?!
