my first and only job...was working for a weekend at a windmill and science centre in nottingham (you wouldnt think they would go together).
After a few midiocre jobs, delivering some post, making tea etc... my boss suggested i give the windmill a once over with the vacume back pack (the back-pack-vac and he called it with a little smile).
Im not sure how many people have tried to hoover a windmill but its fucking hard. Every surface is covered in an inch of flour or cobwebs. It was a hot day and the windmill has tiny windows and the back-pac-vac, as well as being heavy, get really hot after a few minutes. After the first day i was covered in flour, aching and sweaty.
To make it worse is that they still havnt paid me as they have 'lost' my pay sheet somewhere.

Yer, I know all about that...in the summer of this year (before Uni, I might add) I got a temping job at a nice Co-op dairy in Chesterfield. Nothing too hard, a few van deliveries in the morning, picking in the afternoon, for £4.75 an hour.
I worked this one particular week (the second week out of three that i was there) and it was August bank holiday that Monday. Triple pay, whoopee!! Time and a half for Saturday!! Ended up earning nearly 300 quid for that 48 hour week.
I'm still waiting for the money, so Protemp, it's not too late, you can still pay me my money, you basts!
Boycott Protemp.
Edit: The reason they gave for not paying me was that the guy who does payroll had gone on holiday. For 10 weeks? Yeah, right.
