I remember spending the latt...I can vouch for that. I remember spending the latter half of one internship constantly pestering everybody else to give me things to do. At that time the office was starting a whole range of big projects and nobody was about to give an intern who was leaving in a month responsibility for them, so I was sent of to do an expansive literature review. Since I was only an intern and hadn't done anything like this before a great deal of this involved talking to people about where I should look for articles etc, thus taking them away from the projects they were on. I am sure that the work I did wasn't worth paying me for doing and that I was probably a net drain on resources at that time, so not paying me looked justified, on the other hand the only reason I was still there was so that i could say I was there...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
