Today, I had the pleasure of starting an internship at SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority. I was placed in a cubicle that had nothing in it except a notepad and a few pens. So what’s an intern to do?
Make lists.
No, not lists relevant for the job at hand. After all, it’s only Day 2. No, make lists to challenge yourself.
First, I sat down to list the entire staff of The Temple News. I proudly scored a 25 out of 25.
Next, I wrote down a list of the Owl Ambassadors. I’m assuming there are also 25 of them. If so, I’m 25 for 25.
Third, I decided to recall the entire active roster of the Philadelphia Phillies. I did pretty well — the pitchers got me, as I forgot Condrey and Durbin. And Jayson Werth also threw me off. I forgot he was on the DL, and should have replaced him with both Bruntlett and Snelling.
Last – and both my proudest and most embarrassing – is a list of the on-air talent of CBS3. And you know what? I got every one. I even added the two extra CW members on the list, as they occasionally report for their sister station.
Next time you’re stuck in a tall cubicle surrounded by push-pin material, make a list. It’s the only thing that can keep you sane.
Sometimes I try to intentionally forget Clay Condrey . . . . Oh, Antonio Alfonseca where are you now ??? Go Phightins !!
LOL, your tax dollars hard at work
Exactly.
I will update:
Now that I have three weeks and two days left, the workload has increased considerably. No more making lists for me. (Well, at least not every day…) ;)
