Other interns!

So I today was the first "real" day in the office and I found other interns! They mostly work in the mail room, which is a much different environment than up on the other floors. I didn't get the impression that the other interns are very interested in working in film or being agents but who knows, maybe I just didn't talk to them for long enough. It was kind of a relief to find other interns though because I didn't feel as out of place amongst the (younger) interns as I do amongst the agents & assistants. But HEY! It was only the first day, I am sure it will get better as time goes on.

I don't really know how my day to day duties will go, I know my boss has some projects that he would like me to work on and I know that HR and the mail room want me to be in the basement sorting mail & then delivering mail. I am pretty much going to be floating around. Luckily my boss is going to try to make sure that I meet people and that I get to learn a lot. I feel that I am a part of all the interns but at the same time I have a champion in my corner of sorts, a sponsor kind of, that makes sure I don't get trapped under packages and inter office memos, which I think will help me, well I know it will.

I am hoping that I get the hang of everything quickly, I hate not knowing how everything works and where everything is. Also it is kinda outrageous that I am not getting paid. Lots of interns don't. That is so incredibly odd. Do work for the sake of learning? Whaaaa?...
