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 all me,'cos I'm too kind, butA colleague sent an apprentice seven miles across Edinburgh for a long stand. Needless to say they were expecting him when he got there. Similarly a friend, when an apprentice car mechanic, spent most of an afternoon being sent from department to department in a quest for a tin of compression.
I only told a WE kid that the MIG welder was for welding wood and that if we didn't have fluorescent tubes of the right length in stock we could always shorten some longer ones to fit.
Sorry if this is all a bit blue-collar for all you aspiring academics . . .
