internship: so far

originally i intend to post this on facebook, but i think it will offend almost ALL my friends so i think it is wiser to post it here :)

tml will be the 6th week of internship and i'm actually quite surprised at how fast time passed! for my past temp jobs, i'll always complain or mourn every morning i have to wake up for work but not this time. maybe because my expectations for many things have changed.

from the feedback i gathered from my friends, those who are upset are all unhappy with their job scope; about how their companies abuse them or overlook their capabilities. photocopying and scanning documents are demeaning them. i was like, really?

most of them feel that their companies are not granting them a chance to make a difference, to contribute to the company directly. although i tried to imply to them that we are just interns (n indirectly cheap labour), we shldnt expect them to really nurture us.

then they became more upset, refuse to take a step back and agree with me.

so i would like to post a shout out to my friends after the internship: you are just an intern. interns are cheap labour. suck it up!
