Our wings are not tired

Considering that most unpaid internships are run in violation of US Department of Labor guidelines in the first place, I'm sure there's more than just lumping the positions together at fault here.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

msbelle, I highly recommend the Zombies Run! version of couch to 5K for getting you and the dog from walking to jogging or whatever. It's done me a world of good and not left me all sore hardly at all.

I concur. I'm in week 7 of 8. There have been times when it has felt like a bit of an under-challenge, but I'm okay with that, as it's getting me there in the end.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Explain, ND, if you can. I'm off to do some research now.

A quick google shows guidelines for for-profit orgs. Will delve deeper, as we are a nonprofit.

I assume you work for a not for profit. Here are some guidelines:

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I should be in Week 8, Debet, but I have been unable to get a run in so far this week. Sadface. But I'm registered for an actual 5K on Saturday, so that's happening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

aurelia, what's your resume sitch?

And now I want to say something about unconscious coupling, but I'm not sure what that is....

That's certainly something I've done.

Okay, that's all doable, and been done. Especially since we treat everyone as a student and the job as one big class. (I'm hoping the seasonal part timer can become full time what with a directors salary available, if she ends up being as awesome as she was in her interview). I do see that boss lady sorely abused the last intern. Won't let that happen again. I was all useless with a sprained ankle and just furiously thankful for the tainted help. As well as woefully ignorant of laws (I've always dealt with unpaid interns doing it for school credits, so never thought twice about it).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

-t, I'll be doing 7:3 on Thursday, so I'm just a couple behind you! I'm looking forward to going back to my half-hour workouts, but not looking forward to the intervals I'll start doing then during the zombie chases.
