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?

Pubic serviceI did an internship at my local electoral commission a couple of years ago, and had a lovely time. The people were very nice, there was cake for birthdays (and about six people had birthdays while I was there), on Fridays we'd get in a couple of OK bottles of wine and get tiddly, the work was interesting and rewarding and once I got to share the Parliamentary library (which looked like Hogwarts) with a former Premier of Victoria (John Cain - I'll tell you about the time I worked for Jeff some other day).
Anyway, as a result of this pleasant experience, after I graduate in about two weeks I'm going to join the public service. In light of Vipros' comment below, does anyone want to warn me off now? (Especially since I have a half-completed application to the former DIMIA in front of me. First question: "Can you tell the difference between a mentally unstable Australian citizen and a European overstayer?")
