This is a question 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?

My old flatmate from my student days
had a succession of summer jobs, those being a window cleaner, bookmaker's assistant and gravedigger.

After each summer he'd come back an "expert" in his field. So we used to go into the bookie's on the way back to the flat every day, whereupon he'd put a pound or so on a dog or a horse. I never saw him win a penny yet.

Worse still was the window cleaning, when he used to hang out of the flimsy windows of our second floor flat to clean the outsides. 30 feet above spiked railings. At least the windows got cleaned now and again, which is more than they usually did.

To the best of my knowledge he didn't try to bury anyone though!
