IT guys suck ass
In year 10 we had to do a week's work experience. Being a budding journalist (!) I wanted to work for the local paper but I was too young for editorial, so they shoved me in IT. I was fairly advanced at IT but being a quiet 15 yr old girl I think they must've thought I was a bit thick, cos the first task they gave me was to draw a room plan on MS Paint. I went back to him 5 minutes later with the printout and he looked mightily fooked off that I hadn't taken the whole morning to do it. By the second day I was so bored I got myself transferred up to advertising, which was basically just faxing stuff all day, but the archive was up there and I spent a fair bit of time looking up old embarassing pics of my friends.

My first Saturday job was in a well known catalogue chain store. If you've ever wondered why you have to wait for your stuff longer at the weekend/school hols, here's why. We discovered the art of trolley jousting. Two people in trolleys armed with curtain poles being shove towards each other - hours of entertainment!
