Work Experience
We'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?

Late entry....
Showed my old man this site last night, and after laughing his way through some of the stories, he asked me to add one of his own.
My old man used to work away as a contractor on sites across the country, primarily building large supermarkets. As has already been covered in these pages, building sites can be rough on the new guy.
A tale that stood out was of a new labourer, who for some reason, decided to continually annoy the concrete layers....
To the point, that one day, as he did his usual, the concrete layers grabbed him, and threaded a length of scaffold through the arms of his overalls... then attached him to a length of cable and signalled tyheir mate... who was a crane driver, who hoisted the lad 200ft in the air.
And there he stayed, high above newcastle, while the rest of the lads, went for lunch.
