If (Part 2)...

....the place you were interning at still kind of sucked because you work with (only) 2 people who don't say anything for 7 1/2 hours a day, and your boss (who was on a business trip today) is still a complete and utter nut job scares the shit out of you, what would you do? Hypothetically of course.

Grant it that day #2 was not as bad as day #1 or that you didn't have to pay a cab driver eight dollars to cross a very small draw bridge to get to your job. But, you still want to gauge your eyes out (and during the mindless hours reading books you have devised ways to do so) because you don't understand how an office of only 3 people can be so cold and unfriendly, and the dog (yes there is a dog) makes you sneeze.

Grant it that you may have learned a few things from the not so mean Associate Editor when you weren't eyeing the poor editorial assistant to see if she had any visible scars from the tongue lashing she received all day yesterday and occasionally today.

Grant it you may be a flaky person who has doubts about everything, but what if you are pretty sure you would rather take the high road than be beaten down. Would you:

A) Run for the hills. This shit isn't worth it. Tell Editor that if she ever talked to you the way she talks to the editorial assistant your ass would be out of there so fast. Oh, and ask poor Editorial Assistant if she wants to hit the high road with you when you decide to leave.

B) tough it out. It's the first week and you wanted this Bitch. Don't punk out now. People suck, some more than others, it's called life.

C) Decide that publishing really isn't for you, but the experience is good. Tough it out until you can find a internship in production. Decide that writing books while reading books for a living is not something you can do without eye gauging. Be happy that you now know what you don't want to do with your life.

Hypothetically of course
