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?

FORMAT A:My first job was in 1995, working as an intern in the IT department at a hair-care products company outside Minneapolis. Not half a bad job on the whole, but when they were still figuring out what sort of things they should have me do, they asked me to reformat some 3.5" floppy disks so they could reuse them. (again: 1995)
By the time I was done, I had a stack that was nearly as tall as I was. I'm 6' 1" now, and probably wasn't much shorter then. Can't say I minded that much, as I had thought to bring a book with me and the office had Internet access.
I didn't apologize for length then, and I'm not about to now, even though the microSD card in my cell phone probably can store as much data as that whole stack could, and doesn't make GRONK GRONK noises while being read or written.
