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?

tea missionAs everyone knows, 'work experience boy' essentially means 'tea maker'
As i was sent to an upmarket sound and vision type shop I was obviously not allowed to do any selling to customers so I was literally relegated to making the tea and watching the snooker on a 48 inch TV.
Unfortunately I was 15 and while I knew the basic ingredients of tea preparation, no one had bothered to fill me in on the *exact* procedure
cue adding 4 teabags directly to the kettle and trying to boil the mixture into tea.
well that didn't work, so I tried again with just water.
The kettle seemed to be taking absolutely AGES to boil and so I started to wonder if it switched off automatically or if it would keep on boiling til it exploded. Obviously I didn't want to risk this so I shut it off and just poured the tea, resulting in shit luke-warm tea.
Did they appreciate my efforts??! Well no, not really. I had to make it again. I did it right from then on though...honest..
