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?

pies
I got to do two day's work experience with the Mountain Rescue team at RAF St Athan when I was on summer camp.

The first day we sat about watching Monty Python videos and munching cherry bakewells which was much better than boring air traffic control (no actual aeroplanes landing or taking off, yawn), or dicking about in a hangar watching some techie nicking bits of broken aeroplanes to use as spares for other broken aeroplanes)

Then the next day we went rock-climbing. Ace.

However now I'm properly grown up I always take a proper map, some distress flares and a fluorescent duvet with me when I go hillwalking in the mountains because I know that, should I get lost, the mountain rescue team will have to finish their cherry bakewell pies and come back from rock-climbing before they can come and rescue me.*




*This may or may not be true and I think lots of people actually have been rescued by the mountain rescue people so hurray.
