I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse

I've been hired by the large tech company.  They sent me an offer and new hire package to fill out and return to them.  It'll probably take another month or so before they tell me when to begin which is good since it's fitting into my future plans quite nicely.  It stated that I have a base hourly pay of $25 with overtime up to $37.50.  Absolutely insane.  It'll be an one year long internship and I'll be earning 48 grand before taxes.  Though I was initially hesitant about doing this internship, I managed to convince them to let me work three days a week until this semester ends so I'll be doing my IT internship and finishing my class/holding my spot in graduate school.  Hopefully this plays out according to plan, but I still have to be vigilant and be prepared.

Even though I already have an internship, I decided to do another interview.  My dad's client, who I mentioned in several other posts, took it upon herself to forward my resume to another group of hiring managers.  Though I was reluctant to do it, I went for the interview any way.  Surprisingly, I did quite well this time.  Voice was clear, I did not choke nor stutter, and the I was able to give clear and concise examples when asked.  I was later told by one of the interviewers that I was accepted for the tax intern position and I'm supposed to start in the next few weeks.  I'm not sure how to feel about this. While this does fit my future goals, it feels wrong that I got the position based on who I know rather than what I know.  Still I can't complain I guess.

Getting this intern position made question what the hell am I.  I got this intern position because my dad's client went above and beyond trying to help me after talking to my dad.  How does my dad influence people like that?  Hell, my mom and little brother are the same way.  Both my dad and little brother are extremely introverted, but very social and likable if they choose to be.  My mom is more extroverted and social around others.  Me, on the other hand, is just pure socially retarded.  I can't influence and befriend others even if my life depended on it.  After thinking about the rest of my relatives, I can say that none of them are as socially messed up as I am.  What makes me different?  Why am I different from everyone else in my family?
