That's true. I mean, I'm very respectful about the work I am assigned, when I manage to beg someone into giving me something to do. Everyone is very nice to me, I'm just... Bored. But good advice on building networks. Who you know not what you know and all that.

Currently in an internship at a software company in San Diego. Like was mentioned before, having the internship itself as an occupation is not fun. That being said, you really have to put your best foot forward when doing the bitch work.
