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?

Deaf Tests..I worked at a resource center helping work shy layabouts fill in benefit claims to ensure they got the maximum benefits they could, all paid for by the local council tax.
One of these benefits was a payout for industrial deafness.
All was OK, lots of deaf pensioners, and unemployed people getting paid for losing their hearing.
In comes this old boy, and he goes for his test which I was administering.
"can you hear that sir?" I said, "what" says he.
so I up it a level, "how about now", reply - "what". This goes on for a while until i could hear the tones through his headphones.
So I write on his form, severe deafness.
Thank him for coming in, he turns and heads for the door, I say, in a normal tone of voice, you've forgotten your forms, he immediately turns round, picks them up, winks and says thanks and leaves, old bastard on the con, nice one.
Must have hurt listening to the high pitched mega loud tones though.
