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?

Book Shoppe WeirdosWhen I had work experience, my 3 choices were all unavailable so I was selected to work in a startup bookshop. Most of the customers were normal, but there were a few really weird people. Especially this one guy, I'll call him Gord.
Gord was in his 40s, 6 feet tall, rail thin with a lopsided haircut and tattoos of occult symbols across his forehead and on his hands. Every time he came in he'd babble on for at least a half an hour about how the Atlantians were an alien race with spaceships and stuff, or about Crowley's Thelema, or whatever he'd been reading that week. I had a look at his records on the database and the longest list of books I've ever seen came up, and sure enough they were all from the Occult section.
Couple years later I read a police brief in the newspaper about a purse snatcher, with a note saying that he told his victim he was Jesus. The description in the brief perfectly matched Gord's.
