I've come to realize after two years worth of interns... I really don't like them. They are about as useful as the scroll lock key; you know it's there for something... but you can never really figure out what it is they're good at.

I work in a law firm, and that's pretty much the case here too. My boss told me that I can hand down some work to them if I have a lot on my plate...but I just don't trust them to do it right.
We don't really call them interns here but we have people who will come and do work experience placements sometimes.
We had this one girl who was studying to be an occupational psychologist. She was (apparently) exceedingly bright, and from a very sucessful and materially well off family.
She was also absolutely useless at any task we gave her. Like, unbelievably so.
We gave her a bunch of lever-arch files to compile: here's the pages, here's the dividers, and here's a sample one. Just make these like this one.
It took her hours. And they were all wrong.
She offered to make me a coffee, except she just stirred fresh non-instant, ground coffee into a cup of hot water and handed me this mug of bitty, steaming vileness. Later she admitted that was actually the first time in her entire life she had made coffee. I didn't have the heart to tell her she'd done it wrong.
One of our researchers gave her a dictaphone recording of an interview to type up. We listened back to it later and she had typed utter nonsense - like, not just got a few words wrong here and there, the whole thing was just random words and made no sense.
No Mango, they are not, and I do feel I definitely made the winning choice. And pretty much every cliche :winky: joke you can think of has applied at one time or another. My only lament is that we just can't seem to make it work right now.
Some assholes just want to hate something everyone likes. That pisses me off so hard.
EDIT: It's easy to detect, though. You know someone is full of shit if every single goddamn sentence has at least 4 big words to describe their hatred for their current subject matter.
Chris Nolan must have pissed on this guy's hush puppies at some stage.
He fucking hates him.
I'm not reading that. I just skimmed the SE thread where people where debating that, and honestly, Inception is a great flick but I don't think it deserves overthinking it to the point of writing a scathing review declaring not to "get" it because it's in reality a trashy film.
It's pretty fucking straight forward, and a wonderful ride at that.

Yeah... pretty much that. I don't understand where all the discussion comes from this movie. Its not ambiguous enough to warrant all these crazy theories.
Come on Mustang, everyone in Australia knows that platypuses don't exist. It's just something we made up to tell tourists. I mean, beaver with a duck bill? Craazee!

Like, appearance-wise?

You dirty, dirty mango.
Are any of you all gonna be at Otakon, by any chance?
As a token of my displeasure, I will no longer smirk whenever I see your avatar.
...Okay, I lied. It's too damn cute.

Or does Deelock live on a moon and I just didn't know about it?
He's on Mercury? No I'm just retarded.
Thanks!
Edit: Venus might be a more appropriate choice there, according to google

If its just a stand alone thing try out Tumblr, I like it quite a bit better than blogger or others.
He fucking hates him.

Also I have a new e-identity, with an avatar and stuff. It's a platypus, not a duck.
Sweet Duck Mustang!
It's not a platypus, it's a duck.
Jeeze, you need to read more carefully.
