Work Experience
I've never properly walked out of a job or stuck it to the man at any point in my career maze.

However...

While at school we did work experience, we got 2 shots at it, the first was in year 10 (4th year for the olds out there) and the second was in 6th form. First time round in year 10 I was working in a lab doing quality control, scietific measuring and other such cool stuff. It was fun, it was interesting and this QOTW isn't about that (although I did get to keep the safety boots they gave me, which doubled up as hiking boots!).

Second time round I decided that our school careers officer (Dave Gregson for anyone who went to Ellesmere Port Catholic High) was obvisously good at his job so decided to test this out by asking if I could work in a technical role with computers (I passed up the chance of helping out with PE in an all girls school).

Now this appeared to be going ok and I ended up working for a large banking company based in Chester who may have once been known as a bank of our northern neighbors but wasn't even slightly royal. The only problem was that there must have been a communication breakdown as working on something technical evidently traslated to 'data entry with the temps' in accounts. I spent the whole of my first fucking day checking whether a customers data was in line with on the screen. For 8 fucking hours. I never went back in after that first day and the school said sod all!

And that is the one and only time I've walked out of a job and I wasn't even being paid for it!
