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?

Not exactly work experience, but a work related story...A friend of a friend
Him and another mate of mine once worked in a supermarket warehouse (let's call it Sainbury's distribution centre in haydock).
Said man once brought several packed lunch boxes full of cake into work and promptly offered it out as his 'wife's cakes'. Within minutes, almost all the staff had swallowed a cake or two and that was that...
Two hours later, my other mate comes into work and was greeted by a deafening silence of activity. Nobody was on the warehouse floor, all the trucks and forklift's were abandoned and silence reigned.
My mate explored further and found nearly two hundred workers all huddled in the canteen, near unconscious and asleep and pink eyed. Heads asleep on rolled up newspapers and the smoke room was filled too.
My mate decided to walk past the offices and found just one management guy inside, with a serious frown on his red face, occasionally randomly tapping the keyboard and frowning in confusion, occasionaly rubbing his pink eyes.
Turns out they were spacecakes!
Yay for drugs.
Length? Your sister wasn't complaining.
