This story is a crash course in what not to do as an intern. Gawker was forwarded an email by someone who works on Capitol Hill in D.C. which chronicled the story of an intern whose love for liquor and Paul Ryan led to him getting canned.

The poor kid reportedly staggered into work two hours late "absolutely hammered," then sprinted out of his office before getting any work done so he could attempt to Stan extra-hard for Ryan before losing his shoe and all respect in the process. The only thing he gained was a breakfast burrito—a temporary remedy for the hangover and mess he created. Read the best parts of the email:

The kid was apparently sent home to "sleep it off" permanently. One day, he's going to look back on all of this and laugh; at the least he has a hilarious story to share with his friends. He should probably keep this off of his resume, though. One last thing: Could any of these bars have contributed to his downfall?
