So much for making a good first impression.
New White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest's press briefing ended abruptly on Tuesday after an intern fainted towards the end of the meeting. The woman, a White House intern on her first day, had been standing during the entire briefing, which lasted about an hour.
The first day at a new job can be the pits, though. People are typically sleep deprived, running on coffee fumes and unable to eat a solid breakfast because of nerves. Add the stress of your new job being at the White House, and you're gonna have a bad time.

Washington reporter David Nakamura tweeted that the woman appeared to be okay after the incident.
WH briefing ends abruptly after woman faints in briefing room. Fortunately she is okay. Not a regular WH reporter.— David Nakamura (@DavidNakamura) June 24, 2014
