My intern for my soon-to-be non-profit, Reclaim Planet Earth, did such a great job, I gave her a terrific and well-deserved recommendation. She got the job and I’m happy for her. It’s a non-paid internship and I need someone who has experience posting on social media, increasing followers, etc. I’m open to any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks. I wish it were a paid gig. It’s just not possible right now.

You are go gracious. I did an unpaid internship for a nonprofit a few years ago and the woman running it got so upset when I left for a paid job at the end of my contract that she totally ghosted me.

Thank you for saying that. It means so much to me. You never get cheated for giving more than you take.

Once when I was the CD of a small CT promotion agency, my boss came into a small get together I was having for my creative team, he demanded, “What the hell is going on here?”

“I’m teaching creativity.”

“Report to my office. This mtg. is over!”

I went to his office. “What the fu*k was that all about?”

“I was teaching my people how to be more creative.”

“On my time?”

“No,it was on our lunch hour.”

“What about pizza?”

“It was my treat.”

“If you do that again, I’ll fire you.”

A week Nick caught me in another meeting on creativity. This time the pizza had pepperoni.

Nick was angrier than the last time. “I should fire you for disobeying my orders!”

I laughed. “Actually, Nick you can’t fire someone for educating people.”

My staff laughed and Nick stormed out of the room.

He didn’t fire me. He was a bully and bullies are cowards.
