Not in a special school sort of way either.
I rock at my job. Really, I do. When it comes to getting the work done quickly on New Tax Credits, there's no-one better than ol' MoJo here. I whiz around the applications on the PCs like Billy Speed on, well, speed. I know just about every keyboard shortcut ever invented which means I barely touch the mouse. To steal from Homer - "I'm the best New Tax Credit-thingy there ever was"
So I was put on the "specialist team", a collection of the best of the best. We're basically a dumping ground for new work; we train new people and basically do lots of special things that other teams don't.
I was picked to change my hours so I'd be around to train the new starters who come in at 4:30 and leave at 9. I had to learn new work specially for the job and then train them on it. Right now a typical day is go in at 11am, check letters sent out from the previous night, dinner at 3:30, more checking and writing of guidance, train people at 4:30, leave at 9pm.
As a reward two other lads and I were given a giant bottle of Stella each by management, basically because we rule.
So I get paid to sit around checking letters, writing up guidance on how to do the work, putting together instructions, and sitting and training fit girls. Too bad Friday's the last day before I go back on normal hours and go back to my normal team (I went upstairs the other day to see them, just in time to get pulled into a meeting where they said we weren't being very "special" and weren't doing much work... when two of us were doing the evening shift, other people were on holiday, others were doing training, some were brand new to the work and had no idea and we'd just been moved and got a new manager... the cheek of it!)
Of course the amount of work we do will go back up when I'm back... because I rock at my job. Muchly.

Na, I'm given a list of cases to look at. These cases are failures when people are trying to claim working tax credit or child tax credit. If they send in two claims, we have to phone and ask why then sort it out, if they're not a UK national, we need to fax the case off somewhere, if they haven't got a NINO (national insurance number) they go off somewhere else. All the time the work we do changes, depending on what needs doing.
The job I'm training people on at the minute is asking people for their 2004-2005 tax year income from their P60.
Calling people up at 8:30 when their favourite soap is on is usually amusing.

Hate to quote Friends that often, but;
'If I don't punch in those numbers....... won't make much of a difference!'
But well done.

But well done.
So you do data entry, then?
