New Millennial Intern Doing A Great Job

New Millennial Intern Doing A Great Job
Kayla stops to chat with CAP News while those papers don't file themselves on her manager's desk behind her.

BALTIMORE (CAP) - Recent college graduate Kayla Banks, who was hired as a full-time intern by a small Baltimore marketing agency last month, has told CAP News reporters that she has been doing a really great job so far.

"I'm fitting in really well here," she said. "I get along with everyone in the company."

Although Banks majored in English with a focus on creative writing, she spends much of her workday answering the phone, which is great because, as she points out frequently, she really loves talking to new people and is such a huge people person.

"It's almost like a gift," she explained. Banks also spends a good part of her time filing reports, a task at which she reportedly excels.

"Filing is, like, really easy for me," she said. "I have this knack of knowing which order the letters in the alphabet go in and as a result I can file things in the right place really quickly. My boss said he was super impressed with my filing skills."

Banks recently updated her online LinkedIn resume to include the titles, Experienced Phone Answering Specialist, Phone Message Curator, Expert Coffee-Order Processor and Filing Guru.

BlackBerry CEO Guns For Appearance On Shark Tank

LOS ANGELES (CAP) - BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins is pulling out all the stops to try to save his ailing company as he tells CAP News that he has pitched television network ABC to appear on an upcoming episode of the hit series Shark Tank.

"Do you see the kind of money those guys are throwing at those rinky-dink businesses?" Heins said during a recent phone interview. "We have a solid product, we have a solid track record, and we have a solid user base.

"Okay, one out of three ain't bad," he added. "But imagine the opportunities I could squander with all their money."


Upstart Horsemeat Industry Fights Negative Stereotypes
Upstart Horsemeat Industry Fights Negative Stereotypes

PURCELLVILLE, Vir. (CAP) - When Wayne Rooney tells people what he does for a living, he's usually met with some measure of disdain, if not downright disgust. Wayne is a horse breeder, and owner and proprietor of Comestible Colt Farms in this small Loudoun Valley town.

Except Wayne doesn't breed horses for show or for racing - he breeds them for eating.

"I love every one of my horses from the moment they're born right up until they're on a plate with a baked potato and a side of steamed broccoli," says Rooney. "Splash on a little bit of A1 sauce ... whoo-wee! That's good eatin'."

Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has caved to the backlash against his discriminatory marketing, saying he will open a new store called Abercrombie & Fatso. "I'm telling you right now, plus sizes means plus prices," he said. "But I think if anyone can make fat people cool, it's me." «» U.S. logging industry officials say these days, loggers are chopping down trees "just because" it's all they know how to do. "With the ailing housing market, dying newspaper industry and paperless billing, people aren't using as many trees," said one contractor. "Maybe some day people will need more fence posts." «» Fox News officials say the group who hijacked the Associated Press' Twitter account also hijacked their entire network during the manhunt for the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect. "I knew their coverage sucked too much to be real news reporters," said one pundit. "Not sure what MSNBC's excuse was, though." «» Shares of AOL climbed to their highest point in eight years upon the discovery of a relic CD at a Tennessee yard sale. "It was one of the rare CD's that only offered 25 free hours with a new account," said one trader. "It was pretty much a nostalgia buy." «» The National Association of Bank Robbers has voted unanimously to incorporate the visage of Barack Obama into their arsenal of presidents masks worn during bank heists. Obama joins the likes of Nixon, Reagan and Carter and will be replacing pantyhose, typically worn by the least competent member of a gang. «» Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «» A new study finds that teenagers who regularly use a baby pacifier are 95% less likely to become bullies than those who don't. The positive results come on the heels of Michelle Obama's new Binkies For Bullies program that aims to reduce incidents of bullying by turning perpetrators into targets. «»
