She has really blue eyes/contacts. Anyway--I've worked at a start up, and at several larger companies. I think the feeling of not having anything to do isn't a function of the environment you're in, but how your position was created in the first place. If it's a structured internship, you'll definitely have something to do. More, I feel at a start up, more than elsewhere, you need to prove that you're not a total moron before you'll get any real work; once you do that, you start getting a lot more responsibility.
