I got the anagram, but I still can't fit it to the start of the clue. It's an act of omission, rather than an abrupt cut off.

Cut off makes sense but abruptly was confusing for me.

"Monday: I started my new job as an intern at NASA! I'm so excited!

Tuesday: I made the tea for the whole department, and photocopied some important paperwork! I love it here!

Wednesday: Discovered a new planet.[^]"

Lucky bugger - at 17 I had a Saturday job in an Antiques shop... Sigh | :sigh:

That's gonna look really good on his resume, though, isn't it!

if she's a lady how does her first reply to Homer make any sense?

are interns really getting so stupid they don't even know their own private parts?

It was a woman (wouldn't call her a lady come to think of it).

I have no clue why she answered like she did, you have to ask her about that... Sniff | :^)

"s**k my d**k" is a gender-neutral insult in the US from my experience - despite the obvious.

oh so it's not just the interns, it's everyone in USA.

well that also explains why they [have to] stack their talk shows with foreign hosts.

She was just supportive of the LGBQT movement.
Her getting fired is obviously misogynist and oppressive to women!

I should explicitly mention this is a joke, because nowadays this might as well be a serious point of view... Sigh | :sigh:

She wasn't fired, just had a job offer withdrawn.

And the victim of her abuse wants to help her get one anyway?! Probably because she'll be such a joy for co-workers.
