It is shocking that nobody has made a page dedicated to trolling life of an intern or written books on it, the content for this will be endless on the internet. It is a phase that everybody has been through and not many wish for those days to come back.
All those who went through the internship life, you all must be cursing your boss right now, but anyways;
Not much nostalgia associated with this one thing in the past tense.

You would rather be a dog than an intern, A cat is not so bad either or maybe even an engineer with a 20k job.

No internship offer ever said this, but deep down in the heart of our hearts, we begin learning how to make coffee nicely before our internship starts!
If your boss has a hangover you need to show up early. If your boss has a meeting in the evening, you need to stay late in the office. Does not matter what you do at that time as long as you are physically present to lie on your boss's behalf.
