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?

The best IT job in the worldIt was a university gap year placement rather than school work experience but back in the younger days of the Internet, a manager of the company became aware that there were people in the office surfing porn sites and asked did I know of any way they could block it?
Back then they didn't have filtering programs, so I told him the only thing I could do was manually blacklist the individual URLs on the proxy server. Hence I was paid to spend three days checking if likely looking URLs in the cache really were porn sites.
Of course being a diligent employee I felt I had to make a thorough evaluation of each one to ensure it really did contain pornographic content. It was amazing how many colleagues found reasons to stop by my desk that week.
