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?

Probably should have got sackedNot work experience, that was spent working in a primary school where my mum worked and therefore no oppertunity for mischief.
My internship however was a completely different matter.
Working for a large company in department where I travelled quite a lot (which upset all the other interns) managed to get away with:
- Expensing hotel porn channels as 'breakfast'.
- A £100 bar tab between 2 people put down as business lunch, people on the expense report included my boss who signed it off and wasn't even in the same country as me at the time.
- Playing games because I needed to 'test' them.
- Showing up for work having not even gone back to my hotel that night. Fell asleep in a storage cupboard.
- Being asked if I liked group sex by a middle aged Saudi who insisted I should come back to meet his wife (I didn't).
- Telling a co-worker that "I don't care, because I'm quite quite drunk" (in my defense it was at an after-party, and I was).
- Telling the same co-worker that if she bothered me one more time I'd "Strangle the life right out of her".
At one point I actually got put in charge of a work experience kid. He insisted on sitting around singing that song by The Automatics (Whats that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?) so I locked him in the store cupboard.
