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?

MG OverIf youve ever wondered why they went out of business allow my work experience with them at a Bradford main dealer to act as an insight:
Day one:
Turn up, my first job involves getting handed masses of cash and being told to check to see if it was real or not.
1 hour in to my placement, one of the guys asks if i want to go with them to pick up a car in lincoln - some 80 miles away. We take the top of the range demonstrator car, at one point hitting an indicated 125mph down a country road whilst queen blasted out of the stereo.
Day two: The entire day is spent aimlessly shuffling cars about on the forecourt.
Day three: Usual course of drinking pop and doing fuck all continues until the transporter arrives with a selection of brand-new factory fresh cars. I'm immediately asked by the driver if i want to drive them off the back of the lorry, might i add at this point i was 16 - looked about 14 and clearly didnt have a driving license.
Day four: More tooling about in other peoples cars/shouting at every female pedestrian to and from places picking up other cars.
This cycle of doing very very little in between bouts of mental driving continued for the entire week.
Not ONCE did i ever witness a single car being sold.
Quite the finest bunch of people ive ever had the please of not working with.
