Meet the Interns

Here we are, such as we are, such as nylons, dry cleaning, a straight edge (for some), and badges can make us.



I thought it would be easy to find out what I am, what we are. Interns. But I was wrong. Here's what came first.

in⋅tern 1  [v. in-turn; n. in-turn]

–verb (used with object)
1. to restrict to or confine within prescribed limits, as prisoners of war, enemy aliens, or combat troops who take refuge in a neutral country.

That's unfortunate.

2. to impound or hold within a country until the termination of a war, as a ship of a belligerent that has put into a neutral port and remained beyond a limited period.

Also unfortunate. No thanks...

–noun
3. a person who is or has been interned; internee.

More of the same.

in⋅tern 2  [in-turn]
–noun Also, interne.
1. a resident member of the medical staff of a hospital, usually a recent medical school graduate serving under supervision.

Getting warmer.

2. Education. student teacher.

Nope. Contrary to popular belief, I've never wanted to be a teacher, of English or anything else really.

3. a person who works as an apprentice or trainee in an occupation or profession to gain practical experience, and sometimes also to satisfy legal or other requirements for being licensed or accepted professionally.
–verb (used without object)

Ok, there it is. Finally, what a relief.

4. to be or perform the duties of an intern.

That's what I do...whatever that is. When I figure it out, maybe I'll blog about it.
