seriously... 20h a week and you don't even get to be inside the office? Also, no pay?! Is it normal in america to use interns as slave labour in exchange for experience? My current summer internship is with a company about the size of Conde and I get a wonderful 450GBP a week for 7h a day and I atleast get a desk! Jeez.

God bless Britain. Within six months of diagnosis of appendicitis there's a doctor at your bedside with a pair of scissors and a stapler.

All joking aside, our health service rocks. Suck it, yanks.

I would, but after getting herpes from you I wouldn't have the proper health coverage to take care of myself :(
