Le Intern at Le Office Eps #1

Presenting

Le Intern in Le Office.
Starring Le Itern, formerly known as Le Student who blogs about food.

On her first day, Le Intern had to share a desk with Le Fellow Intern, who incidentally is as gay as HIS purple tie and pink mouse. But Le Intern is ok with the arrangement because Le Intern and Le Fellow Intern get along infamously, though she will be given a new desk next week. Le Intern was given a PC to work with too. The PC could only be described as prehistoric and the dust mites, hair strands and god-knows-what trapped inside the keyboard could potentially be used to calculate the PC's half-life. Despite the biomedical hazards she potentially faces, Le Intern relents as she will get a new laptop soon.

Le Fellow Intern is incredibly chatty and tries to explain the format of the game to Le Intern. Though work offically starts at half past eight, department only trickles in at quarter to nine. Most days, department then heads for "breakfast", which Le Intern "absolutely must attend" because the breakfast serves as bonding time. Le Intern concurs.

Le Intern is struck by Le Beautiful People at Le Office. Le Beautiful People resemble nymphs on their way to a cocktail party and exude an air of glorified nonchalance, which makes her feel uneasy but in awe at the same time.

First day of work and Le Intern has been roped to help out in events. Yay for her. She crosses her fingers and hopes that the other days would be as pleasant.
