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?

My work experience was last yearIt might come across as a good job, but it's bloody not. I was testing games. This game was Earache Extreme Metal Racing (lucky for me cause I listen to all that 'pig-gutting shit').
But playing the same game over and over for 2 weeks, 10am to 5pm with a 20 minute lunch break in between is not only boring, but painful on the eyes.
A few short anecdotes now.
Power went out on the first day.
Was told to 'pull this lead out of the computer', pulled the wrong one.
Made some of the programmers jealous because I'd played the Zelda: Twilight Princess GameCube demo in Summer '05.
Was late for almost every day of work (was supposed to start at 9am, but the door was never open that early so I got in at 10), so I legged it out without taking a report on the last day.
While eating lunch in Stourbridge town center, I saw someone who looked a lot like Frank Kelly. I only just managed to stop myself from shouting 'FECK'.
My friend worked at Game Station and did fuck all.
