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?

"work" experience?I never really liked the sound of 'work' at age 14, and still don't now 10 years later, but back then I was far more cunning in my attempts to get out of it. I'm being forced to do it now for rent and beer, but back then I had no such worries so I took the easier, least career-helping 'experience' on the list.
Most of my friends ended up in the usual banks, shops old people's homes, primary schools, but somehow I ended up at art college. Not working at the college, oh no, I went there for two weeks as a student.
Whomsoever came up with the idea that one of the options would be being a student layabout for two weeks was a bloody genius. I sat in the grass and smoked with the students, and built a boat out of paper straws while the rest of my friends struggled with menial admin and arse-wiping jobs. Woo!
I also conned the school out of my 'travel expenses' by putting my address as my home address (10 miles from the college) and staying with my dad (5 mins walk from the college).
It was very handy experience as it goes, as since completing my GCSEs I have managed to waste a further 7 years in educational establishments, and if my luck holds out, I might be going back for another three. Procrastination is an art that must be learned..
