20 Things You Know To Be True When You Work For Odyssey

I know I know, I wrote about this last week... But I just can't help talking about it.

Working as an intern, especially for a company that is expanding as fast as people in New York City walk, can be hectic. There is always somewhere that you need to be, someone that needs your help and each person you meet is just as awesome as the last.

Being an adult is very hard, especially when you're in that awkward in between phase when you're working but you haven't graduated college yet. Internships are great because they show you a glimpse of what real life adult-ing will be like.

As stressful as the #internlife can be, there are 20 things that you know to be true, that also reinforce your love for the job. And these 20 things are even more true, if you have the privilege of working for Odyssey...a.k.a the best place to work. No, but really we have won awards, look it up.

1. Freedom of fashion is a plus.

Having the ability to wear a dress and heels one day, and a graphic tee with jeans the next day is an added bonus. Dressed up or down, you're rockin' your own style either way.

2. You have started typing on your computer like this...

3. The word "dope" is becoming a crucial part of your vocabulary.

4. Work hard, play hard is a way of life.

Sure we all like to laugh and have fun, but business means business.

5. You have brought an entirely new meaning to the word trolling.

Only the few, will know what I mean... #psychooutreachforever

6. Arriving at 6 a.m. for fear of missing something important.

7. You get to be around smart, awesome and again dope peeps all day.

8. WeWork offices are unlike any other office space.

Cubicles? No thank you.

9. Getting upset when the fruity water isn't put out that day.

10. Being afraid to take a 10 minute lunch break for fear of missing yet another important event.

11. But also having to take a 10 minute sanity break so that you don't lose your mind.

12. Making a To-Do List for all of your To-Do Lists.

Major key.

13. Learning that the art of email is in fact dead.

Face-to-face IS always best.

14. Having five back-to-back five minute long meetings.

15. Constantly checking the group chat to see what's up.

16. Drinking eight cups of coffee before noon.

17. Having someone come to you, and closing your laptop because you're working too much.

18. Having a view that is second to none.

19. Becoming so comfortable with Google calendars, G-chats and the entire Google system that you could probably design it yourself.

But really...

20. Having to constantly remind yourself that this is real life, and as dope as you think you are, your company is 10 times cooler than you.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
