This is a question 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?

RSPCA versus...
Back in the salad days of Year 10, I did my work experience at a solicitors. It was fairly mundane - typing up reports, making tea etc - I didn't mind though as I had a couple of days off to take a GCSE exam.

Anyways, the most exciting bit of the work experience was going to the Crown Court. The first case I saw was some teenage thug dressed up in a tacky suit trying to get his sentence for drink driving reduced. The second was a case involving international car theft by a group of ten midgets - that was the most amusing by far as they could hardly see over the witness box. The third was at the Magistrates Court as it was only a preliminary hearing (RSPCA v. some cruel bloke), but after I had finished work experience the case became fairly high profile - it was on telly and everything!

As a few other people have said, I have had a few menial jobs, but work experience was vaguely interesting - if only the court stuff :)
