<title>Make Your Own THAT Intern Meme with The Washington Post</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again where newsrooms across the country are inundated with summer interns.</p>
<p><em>The Washington Post </em>is taking a light hearted approach to summer interns with a fun feature called &#8220;<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/have-you-seen-that-intern/2012/06/05/gJQAhAkUGV_blog.html&amp;tid%3Dsm_facebook_washingtonpost?socialreader_check=0&amp;denied=1" target="_blank">Have you seen THAT intern?</a>&#8221; where you can turn your questionable intern experiences into a meme.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13594 aligncenter" title="interns1" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/10000words/files/2012/06/interns1.jpeg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Make no mistake about it, interns are great. I&#8217;ve been an intern and remember how strange it can be to jump into an office environment where you are temporary. I have also had interns who rocked.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there is always THAT intern. You know who I am talking about. And <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jenna-Johnson-profile.html">Jenna Johnson</a></strong> of <em>The Washington Post</em> definitely knows about iffy interns. She <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/dont-be-that-intern-this-summer/2012/06/04/gJQAPJVcDV_blog.html" target="_blank">describes</a> it ever so aptly:</p>
<blockquote><p>With thousands of college students once again arriving in Washington for <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/interncity">summer internships</a>, everyone who lives here has resumed making fun of those interns. It’s just so easy to do.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s often cruel and unfair. And, yes, most interns are dedicated workers who contribute so much to our city. But for every handful of amazing interns, there’s THAT intern.</p>
<p>As in, the intern who <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/campus-overload/2010/06/that_intern_the_flip-flops_int.html" target="_blank">wears flip-flops to work</a>. Or the one who <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/campus-overload/2010/06/that_intern_the_hook_up_intern.html" target="_blank">hooks up a lot</a>. Or who is <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/that-intern-the-late-intern/2011/06/07/AGxCR5KH_blog.html">always late</a>. Or who <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/thatintern-the-escalefter-intern/2011/07/01/AG3GhutH_blog.html" target="_blank">stands on the left</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>For the past two years, Johnson has documented various types of intern blunders in a hilarious series of columns called &#8220;That Intern&#8221; on the paper&#8217;s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload" target="_blank">Campus Overload blog</a>. This year, Johnson has decided to &#8220;quasi-retire&#8221; from writing the feature but she wants readers to pick up the torch. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/10000words/make-your-own-intern-meme-with-the-washington-post_b13592#more-13592" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>
