Crikey! I hope my school isn't THAT slow, but it's small and crap anyway, so I'm not gonna get hopeful!

They are required by law NOT to pay you any wages for it.

But.

There's nothing wrong with them giving you a little gift at the end of the two weeks.

I got £50.

And Twain's changed his name back!

Wohoo!

I got mine on 30th June for 2 weeks.

First week will be following a computer bloke (my dad :D) around, fixing computers and all that.

Second week will be in the web design department, with projects and stuff to make.

Oh, and that job was the 14th one I wanted.
Every single time I chose one it wasn't avaliable anymore.

I was a 'General Assistant'.

*Snore*

Sorting post, photcopying, faxing, shredding etc etc.
But at least I went home about 2:30 every day becuase there really was nothing to do. At all. Never. And this was AFTER sitting around for about an hour like a retard.

Such fun.
