A Recent Conversation With My Former Intern

Posted by Anonymous On 11:49 PM

(This conversation is brought to you by Facebook chat. It was sparked by Clay the Intern posting a photo of his new office on Facebook. That picture is shown below. Also, you should know before reading the conversation that Clay's favorite performer that used to send me postcards trying to book a gig was Mad Chad the Chainsaw Juggler.)

Clay: I noticed I haven't made an appearance on the blog in awhile. What gives?

Cach: I'm swamped. Work. Full time school. GRE. Doctoral applications. Directing at the Civic Theatre.

Clay: And yet...we're talking via Facebook.

Cach: Facebook doesn't count. There's always time for Facebook.

Clay: I feel like excuses are being made, when the truth of the matter is... ...I was becoming more popular on your blog than you were. And you wanted me out of the picture. And this conversation will, sadly, never see the light of day. But the people must know, Cach. They must be set free!

Cach: Hmmm... you may be on to something. Perhaps I have been unfair to you with all of this "work and planning my future" stuff.

Clay: Get your priorities straight. Absence ought to make the heart grow fonder.

Cach: And we're right back to Facebook. See, with Facebook, it's like you never even left! But seriously, I need a mailing address for you. I just got a new Mad Chad card and... really... I think he'd want you to have it in your new office.

Clay: ((sigh)). just don't publish the address on your blog. i don't need no hate mail comin' my way.

Cach: I expect to see a photo of it next to your desk here on Facebook as soon as you get it.

Clay: (He gives me his address. I promise to post the picture once I see it.) alright...i'm going to lunch.

Cach: Enjoy! Mad Chad will be there soon to cheer you and console.

Clay: ((sighs again, shakes his head disdainfully.))

(We here at Cachinnation Central are always glad to see that our former interns are doing well for themselves in the world. In Clay's case, we're also glad to have not seen him on a Chris Hansen special yet.)

    I agree with intern. Facebook is not blogging.

    If you don't post more, I'm going to mail you a bag of poop.

    A side note: You know... Yale has a pretty kick arse Divinity school... You thought about that? 1 hour train ride from the Fork and Seth and Amber, not to mention theater opp's for your lovely wife...

    Don't you love pot-stirrers?

    I say: Either run for Mayor of Waco or move up here!

    I'm with Seth...only I vote for the Mayor of Waco!! That way I can be something fun like "deputy assistant to board of making paper airplanes to throw at homeless people sleeping in the park!!"

    and yes, i will put that entire title on my business card!!

  4. Clay Said,

    Look, the thing is, my office is so much cooler than that now. I'll upload pictures of the new office with the condition that you post them to the blog. Oh, and Mad Chad has yet to find his way to me. What gives?

    PS- The word verification that enables me to post this is "mychadru". How creepy is that?
