I’m just an intern

I'm never actually given time off the clock, unless I make my own time, by working faster, to read up on background knowledge that is actually important. I'm only weeks in and Death by PowerPoint is really showing itself because I'm the hand by which those decks are made, but you will never know of it. I'm seriously wondering about the differences between an intern and an assistant. I don't know about you, but having to borderline order full time staff around is really alarming to me. I'm really sick of my hourly rate hovering between $5 and $8 when everything you can't/won't/don't want to get to, is quasi my responsibility because there's only so many warm bodies to go around. I've been doing real work with no real pay for way too long now and it's starting to get to me.
