internship

thankfully, though i have to take the semester off, i was able to find a really great internship. it's at an internet domain company, and i do computery/internety stuff all day long which is quite easy and sometimes fun. and it's a paid internship!!! wooooo (plus it's kinda cool working in the office-- the place is really nice and everyone is so friendly)

it's really funny, too, some of the stuff i overhear in the office. first of all, my cubicle is kind of near the guys who answer the phones for people trying to buy internet domains, and so many of them are from other countries. so the guys practically always having to ask, "do you speak english?" and repeating everything. i also hear a lot of, "you've got the wrong number" or "um....this is buydomains.com....".

then in the cubicle right next to me, this guy often talks to someone on the phone (i presume his wife), and one time he went on and on about his kids teeth. he was talking about dentist appointments and saying how "he drinks a lot of juice, it's bad for his teeth." in the same vein, this other women near also every day, without fail, talks to someone on the phone in the afternoon about what her son ate that day. "he ate all the pancakes?! that's great!" or "make sure he eats all his lunch." or "if he doesn't eat the lunch i packed a can of babyfood in the front pocket." lol

and then of course, it's pretty amusing some of the domains i have to edit. "foxygrandpa" was one i got today, "electroniccatdoor" was a classic... the list goes on. i'll keep updating when i find more funny ones
