Introducing Our New Intern...Intern Hosni

We here at Thinking Hard would like to welcome our newest intern. We asked for his resume, but he scoffed at us and walked right into the manager's office. We haven't gotten him to move since. He keeps thanking us for the support we're giving him...but we're actually telling him to leave. Perhaps there's a language barrier. We also can't ascertain what his prior position was...we'd like to call his previous employer to see if this is an ongoing problem. But regardless, welcome Intern Hosni. He's also spent the last several hours telling us how awesome things have been in Egypt for the past 30 years. We're working to translate "Dude, we don't care" into his native tongue.

A quick update from last week's Blog-a-palooza...remember the anchor from KPRC, Owen Conflenti, who was caught only on HD sticking his middle finger up at someone in the studio? He gave a brief apology to the Houston Chronicle, saying "I’m sorry to everyone for my offensive gesture on television last week. My actions were careless and unprofessional. I can assure my viewers it will never happen again.” He went on to say "What's HD again?" Seriously, I'm glad an anchor in a large market can humble himself and admit when he's done something that makes him look like a huge boob on live TV instead of trying to blame it on some producer. I wonder if he's looking for a job in Charlotte...

And now, a new segment on Thinking Hard...Simon's Cat. Intern Holly was kind enough to show us a selection of animated shorts on YouTube that are simple and humorous...especially for people who own cats. For those of you who don't, you might find this cute. You might also appreciate the simplistic animation style. Or you might not care at all...which breaks Intern Holly's heart. And is that something you REALLY want to do so close to Valentine's Day??? You monster!...



Live well.
