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?

Very Childish but funny at the timeAt 16 my first job was at Woolworth's in Cowes on the Isle of Wight on a Saturday and School holidays. Oh the boredom - but it paid fairly well in those days and it meant I could party all weekend in the night clubs (not many there even now). I was always wrecked on the Saturday due to not going to bed until 4am, then I had to go home at 7am to get changed for work.*
To alleviate the boredom, they had ticket machines where you stamped out the prices by hand. So instead of the price, I wrote in tiny handwriting "Please Buy Me" instead and watched from behind the aisle , so when the old gits who shopped there picked up the tins of soup looking for the price, that's what they found. It was hilarious watching their faces.
Got imto trouble though :( but it was worth it.
*I couldn't take a potential shag to my place, even the stairs had a "No Entry" sign my Mum made
