"He has really committed to the bit and even hired a moving company."

Hi everyone,

This is Thalia. We won’t have an article this week because Mike, my unpaid intern of two years, is pretending that he is moving across the country to Philadelphia.

I have to say he has really committed to the bit and even hired a moving company to make it look more realistic but I am on to him. This is something I would do to get out of work and you can’t trick a trickster.

Either way he seems really dedicated to getting out of this and I am a merciful goddess so I will give him a break. I will have to dock his pay by half though. That should put him at... (Let’s see $0/2 = $0.) $0 an hour. Good thing experience is invaluable.

Thanks for your understanding,

Thalia

P.S.

This is Mike. I actually am moving this month. Thalia is the goddess of jokers. I hope she isn’t joking about paying me someday!

P.P.S.

This is Thalia. I’ll pay him when tomorrow comes.

P.P.P.S

This is Mike again. Thalia never stops joking!!!
