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?

One of the More Delicate ProceduresI never did work experience myself, but I worked as an operating theatre porter for a while, and I witnessed a rather odd case of someone else's. One of the consultants brought a 15 year old boy into the theatre, apparently because this kid wanted to be a doctor (rather unorthodox, to say the least). He was dressed up in the theatre blues for hygeine's sake and seemed a mite nervous.
We wheeled a patient in, who was due for an operation on his colon. Once we'd put his legs up ready for the first bit of the op, the consultant sat the kid in a good viewing location, and exuberantly announced, "You're now going to see one of the more delicate procedures in my repertoire: the rectal stretch."
Fortunately for the kid, the patient was the recipient, but you should have seen his face. I suspect he was cured of medical ambition at that moment.
