Memorable Story: It's intern season

The blog occasionally posts Memorable Stories from either the past or the present. Old-timers are bound to enjoy the Firnal Word column about interns by Craig Wilson in USA Today.

(Wilson also once wrote a story about all the Craig Wilsons he could find including our own late Craig Wilson, best known for Action Line.)

It's intern season in offices across America. USA TODAY is no exception.

I walked into the newsroom the other day, and what seemed like hundreds of them were sitting at desks all around me. I knew they were interns because it was 9:30 in the morning, and no self-respecting journalist is ever in the office at 9:30 in the morning.

Like mushrooms, they sprouted overnight, yet another new crop. Bright. Fresh-faced. Eager to jump into any chore.

I hate them all.
