Boss: "do you have a minute?"
Me: "sure"
Boss: "I have this problem, can you just stop doing whatever you are doing and fix it for me?"
Me internally: *no I don't, what I'm doing right now is fixing another one of your problems for which you've interrupted other work already"
Me: "Yeah sure, gimme some time"

Can't afford to fail my internship and I don't want a shitty work environment which I why I don't speak my mind...
But man this is tiring...

    @moshmage if only, his problems are always "super top mega Uber most important priority" which makes doing that kinda hard... Believe me, I care, love working with the other bosses but this is just too much

    Read the "Saying no" chapter from the excellent Clean Coder book, this will give you good examples how to say no in these situations.
