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?

D*xons and PHPI did work experience at D*xons (13 years ago), and had nothing eventful to do, played with the camcorders, folded boxes out back and watched some smut up in the staff room :P
though recently in my last place we had a son of a sandwich shop owner round the corner do work experience at ours, tho us being the WAN/Data Centre monkeys we were too busy doing work/trying to figure out why the MD had missed a couple of emails via Blackberry, to notice we'd been lumbered with said work experience lad that everyone had palmed off HR about.
tho to be fair he spoke twice in 2 weeks, and seemed to have written a demon PHP app widget that might have been able to update some archaic Excel spreadsheet our receptionist used to keep internal numbers on (when we asked if he could do an automated solution, on day one, when he said he could code)
though it was deleted after he went, welcome to modern corporate IT (and proprietary IIS/ASP/Ms SQL/Sharepoint servers mate)
