'INTERN-al Strength'

This has not been the most pleasant of weeks. When you are actually living the worst scenes in a movie, you realize it didn't take imagination for someone to write that in a book (which will later be turned into a B-rated film). 

I am NOT a weak person. I'm not bragging that I'm a hard-ass (although I do love a little leather), but it's impossible to put into words how my current boss treats me. Saying I am verbally and physically abused everyday would not explain the half of it. 

In the past, how many college graduates would have actually accepted a non-paying job that requires more hard work, physical labor, and working hours than paid associates? I would like to take this opportunity to give everyone credit that is out there doing an internship. It takes a lot of patience, hard work, and often, physical exhaustion, which is more often than not, taken for granted. Right now we are all being told that to have ANY opportunity, even if it is working for the worst of bosses, for free, and is 50+ hours a week is an opportunity we can't pass up. I wish I could admit that you can pass it up, but the trouble is what would you be doing instead? There is a solution! That is to take the opportunity, which will teach you how not to treat human beings and motivate you to find something else. I have never been so motivated to find something and someone better in my entire life. So, this is one big THANK YOU to all of the people out there working hard, whether it is for free, for a graceless bitch, or just struggling to get by.
