Ooh, worst job in my real careerWas when I worked for Logica, and got sent to a client site to add some features to a system they had. I was the only one from Logica on site, and was stuck in a cupboard pretending to be an office for 3 months.
It wouldn't have been so bad except that I completed the work in the first week and wa then told by my manager to 'make myself look busy' as Logica were charging the client for a full three months.
Being a contractor, I wasn't permitted access to the internet, and only had a 386 computer to use.
3 months. no net. and nothing to do but pretend to work when someone walked by. which was frequently as the room had no door and was next to a major corridor.

your spies are mis-informedI was only at Logica for a year before leaving for a company that didn't treat you like a moron, and had some idea of how to adapt to new technologies.
