This is a question Work Experience

We'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?

Custard everywhere
I didn't do work experience a school but had to do 2 six month stints at university. Most people did rubbish jobs like getting the post or something. I ended up getting a job with the company that made Ambrosia custard (as well as Marmite, Pot noodle and many other things).

On my first day I expected to be given some lame job but instead they sat me down and told me that I was going to be completely responsible for the supply chain for Ambrosia custard. I had to analyse sales trends, tell the factory (it actually is in Devon) what to make on a daily basis and ship lorry loads around the country to make sure everyone had enough.

When I got home after my first day I was shaking wondering why they were crazy enough to give a lazy student all of this responsibility. I was also amazed at how much fucking custard people in this country eat. I did get to go the custard factory though which was surprisingly interesting if not a little smelly.

I also got sexually harrased by a load of crazed middle aged women in the office. They were very scary.
