Well as many of you know (or don’t) I quit my work experience because there was nothing there for me to do, just to fold 500 letters and put them into envelopes...
Any way two of my mates quite too on Monday and came in to school, the head teacher said to the first:
"Charlene why are you back"
"Because I didn’t enjoy carrying shoes around all day, I found it boring and I was not learning anything"
"Oh, ok well fair enough ill try and find you something else to do"
Well that was ok, that made me less worried about seeing him.
Then my other mate goes to him and he says
"And you quit work experience because"
"Well there was nothing there for me to do atall, all the people sweared and it was too busy and they just thought it would be best for me to come back to school..."
"Ok, well that is understandable"
Now I was not fearing him atall I thought I would just go in there and get things sorted, but nooo, he had to be different to me...
"Robin, what the hell do you think you are doing quitting work experience?"
"Well folding 500 letters in half and putting them into an envelope is not very educational, I was not enjoying it and there was no room in the office, once I even had to just sit there and watch this lady work on her computer for 2-3 hours"
" I DONT CARE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, YOU STICK AT IT, DONT YOU THINK I HATE MY JOB SOMETIMES"
"Um yes all the time to be honest"
"WELL WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU I DO, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER AND YOU CAN’T GET A JOB IM GOING TO COME UP TO YOU AND LAUGH, LAUGH AND POINT"
Hell was that really necessary, I mean why he didn’t do it to the other to people, so the girl a fancy (Charlene Bolton) just started saying what a fool he is, made me feel better...
I just don’t get why he done that to me, I have never really been in any trouble, I guess he is just a sad old man...

I walked out of my work experience. Must've been about four, five years ago now. They stuck me in Top Man (obviously, not my choice) along with a few other kids. Worked from 9-5, doing sweet FA most of the time. Thought it'd be a laugh, but it was rediculously boring and repetative. And the people who worked there properly would just tell us what to do, then go in the corner and talk. Pft.
They threatened to fire me and my then mate on the second day, because we had "bad attitudes". Which mostly came from me flat out refusing to do some stuff, because I didn't see the point. I don't like being told what to do unless I respect them, and it's hard to respect a failed drop out 21 year old who's stuck workig in a shop.
Anyway, after the first week I simply couldn't go on any longer, there was noway I was doing another week, working as slave labour. I'd been complaining to everyone about it since I started, and everybody with me hated it too. Most of my mates had cushy jobs working only a few hours, sitting at computers and not doing anything hard. People would finish their day, then come into the shop to laugh at us because we were stuck there another three hours. So I asked my mum to get me something at the Inland Revenue, which she did and I worked there for the second week, got a perfect report from them and ended up working there properly earlier this year, and hopefully again this summer holiday.
Anyway, none of the teachers said anything about it, I think one asked and I just said it was crap so I went elsewhere, and they were OK with that. Since then, I have vowed NEVER to work in a clothes shop. Or a pub (after working on New Year's Even a few years ago) Heh.
If you're gonna do work experience, make sure it's somewhere decent.

I double doubt that happened.
Well, I'm guessing it happened, but not quite like that.

Robin, admit it, that was a story of lies.
