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?

magazines"Or the fact that I found out this magazine WRITES ITS OWN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR? And not particularly good ones!"
I sympathize, but they pretty much all do that. Partly because if they get real letters it's safer to morph together a bunch of requests on the same theme ("My stepfather comes into my room at night and molests me, what should I do?"), and partly because it's just fucking easier.
I once worked for a bridal magazine as an advertising writer. It was fun for a while, including the bit where I got to write fake letters to the editor. I managed to sneak through references to Pulp Fiction and Moby Dick because let's face it, no-one reads the fucking text in a bridal mag - they're too busy flicking their beans to the gowns and jewellery.
