barclays bank - nat a euphemism
i had a weeks work experience working in barclays bank when i was about 16. my god it was worse than having teeth pulled. i went in on the first day and got a nice big tour around and saw all the safes ad thing and after that it was just shit. shit shit shit. i spent one day with the property section, some bloke spent an entire morning talking to me about housing deeds and the such. laughed - i almost shit.

after a couple of days of being shunted between people who didnt want to show me anything i got put on the cheque paying machine. people normally do an hour or two on this machine cos it is so mind numbing. i lasted a most of the day. to wind down they let me use the franking machine.

on the thursday i bumbed into a friend as i was killing time before i had to be there. ovbiously he asked me if i fancied a spliff and i was never going to refuse. a few* mighty tokes later i am begining to feel very mellow. it was at this point my friend uttered the immortal words "this opium is fucking awesome" for about 2 hours afterwards i was a dribbling wreck. the day passed in a blur.the only thing i can really remember is giggling like a loon as a man that looked suspiciously like jesus took money out from my counter at the bank.

they said i wasnt showing much interest so i shouldn t come in on friday. i stole the 8 ball from the staff pool table.

*may have been more than a few
