Andy replaced?

Well, today we officially got over Andy’s absence. The “irreplaceable” intern Andy has actually been replaced with a new intern, Steve “the younger”. Steve is a refugee from New Orleans and has completed the trio of Tulane folks in this little corner of the architectural universe. After hosing him down and getting him a decent change of clothes, he seems to fit in quite well.

Since arriving at SGW, he has been busy helping Steve “the elder” get his shit together with the endlessly exciting task of filing. Some project managers do this work on their own but Steve “the elder” is a bit too important to waste his creative talents on such a mundane task.

We are still schooling our new intern on how to navigate through IMDB but hopefully he will catch on soon. Last week, we spent a bit too much time trying to determine if Jessica Biel is a good actress or not. Andy’s expertise really would have come in handy. Our arguments about cinematic minutia are getting a bit out of hand and we could use someone to sort this out for us so that we can actually get some work done.

On a side note, in an informal office poll, most people believe that Jessica’s acting talents can not be ascertained by the body of work she has produced so far. Only Pete truly believes she is a bad actress.
