Corporate language for interns-101

Said:"Continue with your reading. If there is anything special I will let you know"
Implied:"Continue reading stuff.If I find something that a trained monkey can do then I will give you a call."

Said:"Just relax and do some reading"
Implied:"Dude...we have way too much work to do without having you bug us with questions every two minutes.....now i cant be your mom and spoon feed you.....so go find something to read and get off my hair."
