So, with the end of the summer comes the end of internships, and with the end of internships comes Intern roasting.

Mine was pretty mild, actually -- Jim just wrote up a 'typical' dialogue between me (of unusual good humor for the HelpDesk) and an Irate user:

AP: Thank you for calling the help desk, this is Andrew. How can I help you?
IU: Andrew? Who the hell are you?
AP: I'm the new IT intern. How can I help you?
IU: My [expletive] computer isn't [expletive] working, and in five [expletive] minutes, I'm going to throw it out of the [expletive] window!
AP: heh heh, OK, what seems to be the problem?
IU: I have five [expletive] minutes to print this [expletive] file off of Prolog, and my [expletive] Uniprint isn't Yoonie-[expletive] printing!
AP: Hee hee, have you tried rebooting?
IU: No, I haven't... hold on a sec, I need to talk with my electrician... mumble mumble [expletive] mumble mumble mumble [expletive] [expletive] mumble... OK, Andrew?
AP: Hee hee hee.
IU: You there?
AP: Heh heh, yes. Did you reboot?
IU: Yeah. It's working now. Thanks for your help.
AP: No problem, thank you for calling the help desk. Have a nice day.

It was actually really accurate. *laughs for days*

Another guy's roast of his intern basically went "Yeah, he was really observant, always saying 'Hey, look at what's going on over there.' Of course, what was going on was usually five-foot three and blonde, but..."

"Hee hee hee."

Why, Andrew, I think you've just summed yourself up perfectly. ::grins::

No, but really, this made me laugh my ass off.

Well, it surely wasn't my doing -- that's more-or-less the exchange that Jim made up to roast me. It was presented frame-by-frame on Powerpoint.
I, of course, laughed through the whole thing.
