Nerd on a Stick
shit my co-intern does

  • bicep curls using the calibration weights
  • insists on carrying EVERYTHING for me. Me: why? Him: well you’re a girl 
  • leaves his phone on (when asked to specifically to switch it off), such that it rings during a presentation
  • falls behind as we walk to said presentation. No one has shorter legs than me, and therefore no one has an excuse for walking slower than me.
  • falls asleep during the same presentation
  • initials against test parameters, when he has no records of completing those tests
  • texts the supervisor, at 10pm, to advise he’s not coming in the next day
  • argues with everyone, about everything. And is always wrong.
  • can’t effing think for himself, and therefore ends up doing everything I was doing, while I find something different to do
  • on me playing the french horn:
    “are you good?”
    “can you play all the songs?”
    “Is it the one that you blow into, and there are buttons?” 
  • on orchestras
    about the sydney symphony orchestra - “Are they good?”, “Do they play in Acer Arena?” - Acer arena is a mainstream concert venue 
  • adds the internship to his Linkedin account, but completely confuses the organisation’s name
  • asks me if I have facebook, believes me when I say I never use it. lol
  • requests permission to sharpen his knives using the grinders at work
  • makes personal calls during work. All the time.
  • calls everything stupid. blames everything and everyone except himself
