^dcak^ Sorry to say but that's just really lame. You've been given the opportunity to intern for a company to learn something and to hopefully get some experience in the working world. They're doing you a favour no matter how you look at it or hate the job.

If you're going to be sending emails like that, at least have the common sense to send it from a web-based email instead of your work email.

 

OK, I've got one ..

I'm sitting at my desk (huge cube land) with my phone headset on, listening in on a phone meeting while thinking about what I'm going to do after work. Instead of doodling on some paper or something, I've got my cell phone in my hand. I find this little thumb tack on my desk, so I start "scratching" the SAMSUNG indentation on the back of the phone with it, kind of coloring it in. Well, I pressed a little too hard at one point, when all of a sudden a bright orange spark shoots out of the back of the phone and makes a little "electrocution" sound (bzzzZZZZ). I then notice that the plastic has a hole burn in it, and underneath there is a RED HOT EMBER burning. Smoke then starts BILLOWING about of the back of the phone, filling my cube. The smoke is making a loud hissing sound as it comes out, and smells really bad like burning electronics (flashback to electrical fundamentals in college).

At this point, I'm basically sh!tting my pants. Do I run for a fire extinguisher? Do I just run out of the building (down the stairs, 100 yards to exit) and throw it on the ground until the fire goes out? Do I throw it in my garbage can and run out with that? WTF are people going to think as I'm running through the crowded office with a burning phone/trash can/fire extinguisher in my hands?

I put my desk phone on mute (pretty sure I did that before I said "oh F-CK!" under my breath, and furiously poked at the battery release on the back of the phone. At this point, my hands are shaking and I can feel my face BEAT red. I'm just waiting for like 10 people to run into my cube and ask WTF is going on. Somehow through all of the smoke (and the hissing sound of the smoke billowing out), I hit the release button, and the battery falls off. Instantly, the smoke and hissing stop, and the red hot ember dies down.

All of a sudden, the smoke has cleared, and no one has run into my cube yet. I put my headset back on, and make sure I haven't missed anything in the meeting. Later, I tell my cube neighbors the story, but they say they didn't hear, smell, or see anything. They are shocked to see my burned out cell phone battery.

I put my spare battery on the phone, and it still worked!

CLOSE call ...

 

I was the production coordinator on the set of a pretty major production, so over the walkie-talkie's you constantly heard calls for me for the entire night. We had headsets to go with the radios, but you still had to hit the key button in order to talk...unless you turned on the voice activation. I found out the hard way that it wasn't too hard to turn the V/A on I was talking to one of the "Dancers" (a cheerleader for one of our pro teams in Detroit) for the show during a little break, trying to run a little game...again I'm telling her about my other show that I was producing weekly and how much more organized it was than the one we were on because she's tired and wants to go to a club. Things really were jacked, so I was just telling the truth about the lack of planning on the executive producers part About 10 mins. into the conversation, my production manager runs up to me, grabs my radio, and shows me that my little light is lite up. Beads of sweat immediately covered my face. He says, "Don't worry, you didn't say MUCH!" At this point I know exactly what I said because it's now running back through my mind. The girl? She laughed and bought me drinks later. The EP's? Never talked to them again...

Lesson learned!

 

When I first started my job I was given the kiosk computer to use until my one came in and when I received it there was no internet connection but at some stage it did.

After a couple of months trial I sat down with my boss to go over my contract and everything went really well so I was feeling pretty confident. Just as I thought the meeting had ended he got serious and changed the subject..... he told me that IT had looked over my pc after I handed it over and they had found lots of inappropriate material stored on the hard drives and asked what I knew of it. I could feel myself instantly turn red and start feeling guilty and I felt like I was back in school and this was the principal's office. I told the truth that I never had a net connection and that I certainly didn't bring it in on disk but lied that I didn't know it was there. He took and well and I never heard about it again but I was pretty freaked out for a bit.

 

Make sure to use this tactic, even though it's obvious

windows key + D

It'll minimize everything.

 

You never know, she might give you her number.

 

Why am I LOL'ing so damn long in my office...?

 

I wondering how this differs from Windows Key + M....
