I can tweak the numbers. It's good to be boss sometimes.
*laughs* Normally, that's a good thing to ask. Right now, I'm in New York and should be for a while. Internships just started and I want to keep a close eye on my building.
If it's only for an hour at a time, I honestly think we can negotiate. Tell me, how would you feel about writing an article for SI? 2 grand seems like an adequate price to me.
I do, but specifically in public relations and research and development. It's a lot of work, but I really feel the students get the most out of it. After all -- I started as an intern too.
An article? Something for internal distribution or something like a press release?
Didn't we all? And I'm sure it's nice for them to see how far they can go, having you as an example. Unfortunately, not all interns will know how to take advantage of this opportunity.
More like a press release. If you're anywhere near New York, give me a call and we can talk about it. Nothing urgent, but I trust you to write something amazing.
This is very true. If they do well, they will do VERY well. If not..well..I'll still give them a decent enough reference. I like to think my stamp of approval will be enough help.
Thank you so much for thinking of me, I would love to. I'm pretty sure I can make my way up there sometime during the weekend, if you're available.
I'm sure it will be the highlight of their resume, I hope you get good ones this summer. We should be getting some here sometime soon, but they are usually a pain, like I was when I was 16.

Date: 2009-05-12 04:45 am (UTC)I didn't say you were! You could always give it back to me afterward... *shifty eyes*And I think it's kind of sad, but you're worth more than me.
