First day...got the introduction to everybody on the team. Essentially, the first days/weeks generally start out with "Bitch work"...as in "Hey bitch (intern) fetch me a(n) "x". 'X' could mean a coffee, a Shake Shack burger, a shoe shiner, wax and polish so you shine their shoes, or some high grade Bolivian marching powder (JUST KIDDING, thats for the weekends).
I 'happily' ran around town looking for these 'extra important' name tags which were sold out at every Staples store within a 30 block radius of the office. *Remember* This type of bitchwork is commonplace at every single internship...so be prepared to endure. We are at the lowest rung of the totem pole, grin and bear it. There are literally thousands upon thousands of students who will gladly do the same work we are doing if it means a hopeful recommendation. Especially immigrant interns. Janitors are making more money than we are...for the hours.
Afterwards, there was Bloomberg training. After the Bloomberg training there was a 'client event' at the Maserati dealership at 55th and Park. Pretty cool stuff, even if I was only there for the setup. Sorry, people with real jobs only.
I am still looking for places to find cheap beer...almost non existent unless anyone can give me a heads up. For cheap wine I have been going to Trader Joes Wine Store at 138 E. 14th Street. They sell 'Three-Buck Chuck' which is one step above boxed...and still drinkable as I have an untrained college student palate. There is also Warehouse Wine and Spirits at 735 Broadway. Warehouse also has cheap liquor. As in $15 for a 750 of Smirnoff or $12 for a 750 of Danzka cheap. You will enjoy the savings that much better when you start pregaming for the bars.
