Hey, guys, I got a new job! I'm now an intern at PUMPZ magazine! My boss asked me to submit something up to review. I thought you guys want to know what my day is like being an intern at an inflation-themed magazine!
Current Staff at PUMPZ:
Steve Bodbloat (company director) @ bodbloat
Vrghr (food inflation expert) @ Vrghr
Lxlhunter (company model) @ lxlhunter
Dave (test co-ordinator @ Iconmaster
Tyrex (Me!) (Intern) @ tyrexkyuris

Being a Chintern;
My day begins at five AM. Yeah, five AM. I have to clean up and then get to the coffee shop. Then, carrying two carriers (one for the coffee drinkers and one for those who mean 'milkshake' when they say coffee), I make my way to the warehouse.
You might find yourself thinking 'what does an online magazine with less than ten staff members need a giant warehouse for', and the answer to that is; we have three warehouses, not one. 'PUMPZ Magazine' was founded in 2015 as a way to review and test various methods of what my boss likes to call embiggening. Steve Bodbloat, who was quite fittingly named, quit the oil industry and devoted his life to bloating bodies. Air Pumps, Slime Monsters, Overeating... if it made you bigger, he wanted to cover it in his magazine.
So, the reason we need three warehouses is; sometimes our staff members are on the plus-size side. Heck, one warehouse is completely empty and is just for holding staff members while they recover from the effects of testing and reviewing the various methods of embiggening.
But once I arrive at #101, I unlock the doors, check to make sure the offices are clean, and make sure coffee's on the desk by the time everyone else arrives at 8.
See, I'm an intern, and you may be thinking 'doesn't that mean they just have you do all the crap jobs.' You are a hundred percent correct. I spend a lot of time cleaning up messes, whether it's one of Vrghr's famous mega meals, some test subject popping after one of Luxel's shoddy air compressors breaks in the 'on' position, or just using a forklift to move Dave into holding to sleep off the effects of one of the various serums we test. The biggest messes are the piles of ridiculous spelling and grammar errors with the occasional miraculously correct sentence Steve has me edit before publishing.
Then, if I'm lucky, I get sent on a lunch run, and by golly I need to take the company truck. You think you've picked up a big lunch order? I broke the suspension on my bike the first time I tried it! Everyone at the office can eat their own weight in a meal. So I'll get back to the office and unload lunch one cart at a time.
If I'm unlucky, Steve will walk up to me with a grin on his face and say 'Oh, Tyrex, guess what I got~!'. He'll hand me something that hasn't made it through the testing phase yet, like a new species of slime he's been breeding or an air tank that they're not sure works. So I get to take one for the team, or rather, for science. I usually get the rest of the day off after that, but I have had to sweep and mop up a floor I haven't been able to see over my own stomach before.
Once lunch is over, I go over the articles and make sure we're not committing some sort of heresy to the English language; it happens pretty often around here. Then I'm usually in the lab with Steve recording results while he tests about a billion different thing. Sometimes I swear he just likes pouring colorful liquids out of beakers into test tubes and watching the resulting explosions. Sometimes I'll hear a loud bang and have to rush upstairs to glue somebody back together after they've exploded or just find another mess to clean up, but most of the staff are pretty stretchy by now.
Steve usually keeps me until nightfall, at which point we (and by we I mean I) schlep off anyone who needs to sleep off a ballooning or a water belly to holding and lock up after a final cleaning.
Yeah, it's not easy being an intern at PUMPZ, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Except maybe a paid position.
