Hello everyone. My name is Dr. Russell Campb [...] Campbell-Acton and I'm one of the new interns here. Apologies for missing those first few introduction activities. I was dealing with [......] a personal issue. But I'm very pleased to be here now and I'm looking forward to participating.

INNOVATORS + INNOVATOR INTERNS

When do we start ADG monitoring duties? I'll take any shift.

BRIAR CAMPBELL-ACTON

Rosie. [...] We should talk.

We'll get to know another by all working closely together.

[overeducate]

I'm sure they wouldn't make us do all this if it weren't beneficial.

[craquelure]

Have you never worked alongside an HR department before? They get all their sustenance from putting employees through unnecessary, time-wasting activities in the name of "team-building."

[rebrith]

Do you know, you've spoken so much on team building the past week that I'm tempted to suggest you lead one for us.

[craquelure]

We would all sit quietly at our respective desks and perform our jobs.

[rebrith]

Like you're doing now?

[craquelure]

[...] Yes.

[rebrith]

What an interesting way of doing things!

[craquelure]

I'm on a break, Briony. Am I not allowed breaks.

[rebrith]

Of course you are! And I think it's wonderful you're using them to build relationships.

[craquelure]

I hate you.

[rebrith]

No. You don't. 😘

[craquelure]

Yes. I do. It's a new development and I'm looking forward to see where it takes me.

[rebrith]

You know what would really show me? If you keep up being the beautiful social butterfly you've become since the interns arrived.

[craquelure]

If you persist, I will shout at someone.

[rebrith]

More social interactions? Sébastien, you are on fire!

[craquelure]

I will berate them. It will be the very antithesis of a team-building activity, and it will all be your fault.

[rebrith]

Darling, I have no control over you. Any action you undertake is entirely your own.

[craquelure]

No, that doesn't sound right at all.

[overeducate]

Well, we only have to do it once, thankfully.

[craquelure]

Every June until you die.

[overeducate]

Surely it's not nearly as involved for you, since you're no longer an intern?

[craquelure]

It's not and that's part of the problem. Instead of learning we're team-building.

[overeducate]

Teamwork seems very critical to the work we do here. Especially for prospective Wranglers.

[craquelure]

If only the rest of us were exempt...
