    yeah, i went there in April, left at christmas 1999.
    they were going to pay me 500 quid to work the millenium new year, but i handed in my resignation and was 'escorted off site' just before christmas. so i got a nice long christmas holiday, and my new year.

    still, it was good for teaching the basics of computers, and i ddi enjoy it. i just wouldnt make a career out of it. i belive they work days now (bastárds!) i will never forget what its like to work an 11 hour shift until 8am.
    christ, thats just mental work.

    Sounds like this is becoming a "worst work experiences - what kind of apes have you worked with?" thread.....

    All I can say is that if you are in tech support you should not try putting a 21 inch monitor down on the floor while wearing tight trousers! Ripppppppp! :eek:

    Mind you, having said that, a little gem of advice - if it ever happens to you - and you can't dash home to change...
    A stapler make a very good make shift sewing machine ;)
