It was nearing 4:50pm. The social media intern’s mind was fried after having to constantly write “enthused” posts about eating brown sugar squares while their supervisors piled on more inconsequential busy work on them. They could’ve wrote something exciting earlier in the day, but Hershey’s virtual chocolatescape came right after hours in Photoshop working on banners because the outsourced labor in Mumbai made their social media marketing promotions on MS Paint, hours over the phone to said employees from Mumbai emphasizing that Hershey’s needs these ads by Monday because they need spooky posts to start October and not the dregs of their September campaigns, and hours of getting blamed for not writing a sales sheet on time when the outsourced posts were still being fixed for their broken English.

So here it is, one last post of the day, and this one is about some virtual bullshit factory named Chocolatetown. An uninspired name. It sure could use an uninspired post to promote it. And how perfect, it’s 4:50pm. Right at the moment where they realize every day that the pay is too little to give any more of a shit. “Fuck it,” the intern said to himself. “‘Where fun meets chocolate’ will do”. He pressed the Enter key, walked away, and drove an hour home, nodding off every mile of the way before pulling into the driveway to let out a large and defeated sigh as they reflect on how a slapped together effort like “Where fun meets chocolate” would be all their degree amounted to at this point. The day defeated them once again. Their only reconciliation prize is 4 hours of sleep.

It's sad you did better in 3 minutes than they did with 12 months.
