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?

Frickin' transits!My work experience was in the Ford Transit assembly plant outside Southampton. Whilst the whole experience wasn't horrifically dull, it wasn't all that great. Highlights were watching a lot of robots build a lot of vans (the ones that put the windshields on are cool). Finding out how almost everything works. I was based in essential services which were the handymen/repairmen for the whole place. Upshot of this was I saw almost every department.
Other high point was finding that the other people that I worked with had an unhealthy amount of pornography. I found it all over the place. Open in the canteen and old copies of Knave from the 70s which had been left in filing cabinets with other documents.
Acquired some callouses that week. More than a 14 year old should.
