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?

First JobA friend of mine had an interesting first job he left School and went to work at an office on the outskirts of the City Centre. It was a fairly easy job, a bit of filing, making the tea etc.
There were quite a few people in and out of the office all day and not an awful amount of work seemed to be done, it was mainly people hanging around and then going off for meetings.
Soon he gained a bit of trust and more responsibility, mainly going round the local area delivering messages to pubs and other small businesses. The messages never seemed to mean anything and were along the lines of ' *Frank says its OK for 3 o'clock'. When he was delivering the messages he was always asked how *Frank was and 'Oh you must be one of *Mr Jeffreys boys'
It wasn't until a few years later the when the young lad had got a new job and had more life experience that he realised his first job was with the local gangsters and the office was just a front.
*Names changed to protect me
