My possibly future sister-in-law was an intern with a newspaper over the summer. She got paid, and left to work full time at a much smaller newspaper because she felt underworked at the first newspaper. If she wanted to do more, she just had to ask. I'm sure they would have loved to have someone who wanted to work more. When I interned at office once, paid very well, I filed in a month what usual their interns* took a whole summer to accomplish. They were so thrilled they not only gave me an award :rolleyes: /literally a plaque!/ but also much more interesting work to do. *Having met some of the other summer interns at that office, I could see how they never accomplished these menial tasks. They showed up late, they took two hour lunches, tons of coffee / cigarette breaks to get together and socialize, and basically used the time to goof off. I may not have been a popular intern, but I was so well liked by the firm, I was offered another job the next summer and my choice of assignments. I grew up with the work ethic that while you're at work, you work. That's why they pay you. On the other hand, one of my sisters had an offer from a New York Fashion Law firm for an unpaid, 9-month internship. At that point she had a JD and was about to get her LLM, so she turned down the offer as not worth taking. She now has one case and works in a clothing store to make ends meet, 18 months later. So maybe she should have taken the unpaid internship. On the other hand it was not clear that what they would have her do would at all utilize her skill as a lawyer, or even required someone who had been to law school at all. Oh, I'm sure they would have used her free legal services to their benefit. My guess is Hollywood Production companies are the worst. There are lots and lots of films that make way less money than it costs to make them, lots of films that die in production, and such. You're probably right. And so many suckers out there who want to get into the business.

NIGEL: Yes, sir.
ER: Saves a lot on severance pay. If Nigel steals your ideas to use for his own? Yep. LOIS: /points to target tattooed on her chest/
CAT: Right.
CLARK: Can I see, please? LOIS: Don't you have x-ray vision? Well…
CLARK: It’s not my fault I ran into a crook with Kryptonite and ended up in some dark jail in Middle America
LEX: [Wave]
ER: See also: SQD: Purgatory Sounds like one of her darker ones, and that's saying something. Moira Queen from The-CW’s Arrow. Caught up with S1. She had a tail? Oh, right, Arrow's right hand man. Diggory? Arthur should have courted her, that way, Lex would have never caught up with them.
LEX: I would still have become the second most wealthy person if they joined their own wealth. Good point. ER: That’s because Lois is doing two guys at the same time, and neither one is very fond of that fact.
LOIS: It wasn't at the *same* time.
ER: So, sequentially, then? LOIS: Well, I experimented with one and the other is still under review / ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/e045.gif) he's not going to pass muster/. EW: He hasn't been home for more than a couple of hours in the last in couple of weeks. Give the guy a break.
/Bane volunteers now that he's rid Gotham of it's pest problem/ CLARK: /flicks him away with his finger/ I really don't have the time. BATMAN: /from his hospital bed/ I really hate that guy. ALFRED: Bane, sir? BATMAN: No. Superman. LOIS: It's only been a week! Gees. I'm still interviewing with media types. Strip clubs don't come up on my rotation until the end of the month.
RALPH: /starts putting aside money for the end of the month/  ER: Wash down some sleeping pills with Kryptonite-laced wine?
EW: I thought it was wash down krytponite pills with wine.
ER: /scratches head/ Possibly. It’s been a while… I guess, technically, either would work. CLARK: Will you two please stop trying to kill me off? EW: No.

LOIS: So, you don't like emeralds? I bought this one in Smallville. Ooops? quote: LOIS: /points to target tattooed on her chest/
CAT: Right.
CLARK: Can I see, please?
LOIS: Don't you have x-ray vision? Lois! CLARK: But…But…But…  ER: See also: SQD: Purgatory
Sounds like one of her darker ones, and that's saying something. I’d say mid-level. It’s also a book-adaption. Oh, right, Arrow's right hand man. Diggory? Diggles, I think… LOIS: Well, I experimented with one and the other is still under review / <shares shocking secret> he's not going to pass muster/. Oh dear. And here I’d such high hopes… /Bane volunteers now that he's rid Gotham of it's pest problem/
CLARK: /flicks him away with his finger/ I really don't have the time.
BATMAN: /from his hospital bed/ I really hate that guy.
ALFRED: Bane, sir?
BATMAN: No. Superman.  Michael

MARTHA: Oh, live a little, Clark. She's giving you permission. JONATHAN: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/g042.gif) At least she’d die happy and doing something that she loves? CLARK: /grumbling under his breath about being called "something" / But... the EW promised this wouldn't be a deathfic! LOIS: And what does *that* tell you, lunkhead? CLARK:  Herb's coming to visit with good news?! LOIS: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif) What can I say? He looks good in tights.
