Work ExperienceWe've got a work experience kid in for a couple of weeks and he'll do anything you tell him to... He's was in the server room most of yesterday monitoring the network activity lights - he almost missed his lunch till we took pity on him.
We are bastards.
How bad was your first experience of work?

a bucket of steam and a tin of tartan paint please.Bit geeky this one.
We sent a W.E. lad down to our HQ's supplies office (in Manchester, 10 miles away by train) to get some parity bits. The supplies guy was expecting him and sent him back with quite a large and bulky box full of what looked suspiciously like co-ax connectors.
On his return we were most disappointed to find he had brought us odd parity bits when we specifically needed even ones.
We almost, almost got him to search the office for some missing Token Rings that got out of the cables and had rolled around the floor somewhere. (Unfortunately he had stopped believing a word we said by then and started researching our requests before going anywhere).
