Most Embarassing Office Moments
internships mean opening yourself to humiliation and embarassment. read the fine print - it's in the job description.
The intern office has played house to a few embarassing moments over the course of the summer and we thought we'd share some of the best with you.
- Megan had to take the online safe driving class 8 times before passing. This included lifelines of group chat, phone a friend, ask Matt, and Yahoo answers. Listen, it was tricky. Nobody knows what all the road signs mean or whose responsibility it is to make sure everyone wears seatbelts. Don't worry it only took her 4.5 hours to finish it all.
- While Megan was away, Matt texted Megan his pirate name and she responded with a pic of his contact info headed "Shark Tooth Herb." Matt laughed out loud. Unfortunately, he was not in the usual seclusion of the intern office, but in the middle of a training presentation. Yep, everyone stared.
- We found out Project Free TV is not blocked at work, so naturally we were watching The Big Bang Theory. As Sheldon and Leonard were deep in discussion, Matt's manager walked in. And of course we couldn't click close fast enough. We were definitely bazinga'ed by the boss.
- Matt's awkward foreign co-worker gave him a hug on the last day before vacation. #officefavorite
- During the Intern Office paper airplane contest, Matt says, "Wow that's a really good paper airplane!" really loudly. With the door open. Way to be subtle.
- During Intern Office nap time, one of the managers came in and says, "wow it seems pretty slow in here, what are you working on?" Our response: mumble mumble mumble spreadsheet mumble vector mumble strategic.....
- This submitted from another intern: Telling the head of the unit that you're a great golfer in passing then being invited to play golf with him at the country club. Too bad you're not actually a good golfer. Hole in... eleven, anyone?
- This submitted from another intern: Leaving the group chat open during your practice end-of-year presentation and having fellow interns message you this on the big screen:

- Being the only non-Asians at the Chinese Club event where even the speech was in Chinese.
- Making umbrellas out of file folders to protect ourselves from the rain while walking in the parking lot (after leaving early of course).
- Giving a presentaion about diversity with another white person.
It's good to be reunited after Megan's being away. #interns FOR LIFE.
