Work Experience
We'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?

"work experience" these days basically consists of your school forcing you to do, unpaid, the kind of work you're going to school to avoid.
That's got to be the best quote of this qotw so far..
Actually my work experience wasn't bad. My earliest 'work experience' was for my Dad. This was not really a cushy number, as he has high expectations, and I had to go home with him at the end of the day, so couldn't bitch! Bottom line - I became very good at filing drawings, moving large heavy boxes, copying A0 drawings using special light reactive film and ultraviolet light, and getting the occasional paper cut..
At college I did get to do some work experience with an IBM service centre - it was ok actually. There was some tidying, testing, entering things into their systems and going out on hardware maintenance swapouts. They were ok guys, and when there was nothing to do they let me play Prince of Persia :).
To the b3tan that did WE at a bank and got hauled over the coals for trying to find games in OS/2 : it *does* have games (at least in v2 onwards) including a great mahjonng, but you don't install them in banking environments!
