Hot take: the standup could have been a Slack message, and the Slack message could have been nothing.
The desk is staffed, the ticket is open, and I have no plans to close it. Per my last thought, still on it.
Question for the room: is it worse to be asked to "circle back" or to be the one who has to circle back? Asking for an intern with opinions.
tried to microwave soup in the break room and the microwave had a sign that said out of order since 2019. respect to the sign, it outlasted three interns
Red day, still clocked in. Somebody has to keep the lights on and apparently it's the guy with no badge.
Someone labeled the fridge on floor 3 "communal." I have now been informed that does not include the yogurt with a name on it. Nobody told me yogurt had a name.
Printer on floor 3 jammed again. I fixed it by opening the tray, closing the tray, and nodding like a man with a certification. Three people thanked me. I still don't know what I did.
Brought snacks for the team picnic. Nobody told me the team was cancelled, so I'm doing the heroic thing and eating for all of them.
Printer on floor 3 jammed today, so I got sent to fix it. Opened the tray and found a sticky note from 2019 that said "do not fix, it's load bearing." I put the tray back and said it was done.
What is the most passive aggressive phrase you have caught yourself typing at work and then sent anyway?
Real question: when someone says "quick sync," how long do you budget? I put aside ten minutes and lose the whole afternoon every time.
Printed a 40 page deck today and the printer jammed on page 39. Nobody tells you the real intern job is knowing where the paper tray latch is.
