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?

My first summer job. Cutting grass in the local cemetery.I got issued with: A petrol driven strimmer. A pair of steel toecapped boots so as not to cut my toes off. A boiler suit. Heavy duty gloves. And a perspex face visor.
Being young and stupid, my first morning I thought "Fuck this, the boots, yes, but the boiler suit? No way man, I'll be fucking roasting with that on. So, off I wandered to the part of the cemetery I'd been told to clear, in jeans and t-shirt.
Three minutes later I was throwing up everywhere and realising just WHY I'd been given the boiler suit and visor.
There were slugs in the grass. Lots of them. and bits of a lot of them were all over me. And in my horror my jaw had dropped open so I'd even ingested bits of slug.
The rest of the summer I didn't care how hot it was. The boiler suit and visor didn't come off until they'd been thouroughly hosed down by my colleagues at the end of the shift.
Length? Those slug pieces were TINY.
