There are these two interns who coincidentally have ended up in the same metro car as me multiple times over the past few weeks. Each time I've seen them, they've been loud, boisterous, fist-pounding each other over everything the other said, and of course, proudly displaying their red badges for everyone on the metro to roll their eyes at. The first time I witnessed these guys, they were loudly bragging about drinking and getting laid at their respective colleges. The second time, they were complaining about how annoyed they were with DC tourists. The third time, one of them so humbly stated:
"It's almost sad, like all my friends from college just aren't accomplished; they're spending their summers like life guarding or doing generic office work. But look at us: we're working for the United-f**king-States CONGRESS. We haven't even graduated college and we're already making names for ourselves."
Followed by a fist-pound.

I am now going to call my representative and tell her to introduce a bill to rename Congress to "The United-f**king-States CONGRESS."
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that realization has lead to an improved work ethic?
ReplyDeleteThe Beltway version of the Woo-girl!
ReplyDeleteApparently they're trying to fist-pound their way out of feeling sorry for themselves that they're the only ones not making any money this summer.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are classic bros.
ReplyDeleteNext you're going to see them "ice" each other.
ReplyDeleteAs a former lifeguard who has managed to snag a paid internship here in DC, the thing I'm still most proud of on my resume is what isn't expressly written there: the two children I rescued from drowning last summer.
ReplyDeleteThese jerkoffs have to get their priorities in order
Last summer: worked for free for a member of Congress while being yelled at by constituents and sorting mail.
ReplyDeleteThis summer: making $16 an hour to sit on my butt and watch kids swim.
As you can see, I totally made a name for myself in DC....
I used to work Paid internships. Then I became a Fed in the same office I interned in.
ReplyDeleteFist-pounding on the Metbro. Hell yeah.
