Work Experience

Work Experience

Work experience was an opportunity for me, and many other year 10

students across the country to experience a different world, a world

outside school, a world of work. To many this was a new opportunity, a

challenge if you like, but to me it wasn't all that new as I have

worked for my dad at his work far from few times before. I found that

working for my dad was challenging, sometimes difficult, but I always

managed to get the work done and get that feel of self achievement.

The feeling of self achievement is a wonderful feeling, some may say

better than sex, I wouldn't go that far, but it is good.

Work experience started on June 1st 2002. I remember this day very

well, I got up at about seven o'clock, had a shower, and got ready in

a hurry because I was looking forward in anticipation to going to

work. I got a lift in to work by my sister. The only drawback was that

I got dropped off in Dunmow a hour early, but it didn't matter because

I could always go and see my friend who worked in the butchers.

That morning at nine thirty on the dot I turned up at work eagerly

waiting for it to all begin, waiting became the key word, I had to

wait for a whole hour for my boss to arrive I was not a very happy

bunny a can tell you that. So I done the only thing I could which was

play on the X BOX on the 36inch wide screen television, that kept me

happy. When he arrived, to my disappointment he had nothing for me to

do I felt as if he was wasting my time, and I really do not like time

wasters! He told me just to play on the X BOX some more, naturally I

did.

Later in the day he found a job for me to do, I was quite excited...

... middle of paper ...

...ow I realise I had

a felt quite a great deal of self achievement, maybe it was wrong for

me to feel that but what the hell it's a nice feeling and I must of

enjoyed it.

To be quite honest that was the highlight of my whole work experience.

The following day a teacher from my school came to my work to see how

I was getting on. When she arrived I was half asleep on the sofa

listening to the legend, Phil Collins. We had a little chat and she

went after about ten minutes. I carried on doing nothing for the rest

of my work experience time. The only time I really done anything was

when I went and got lunch or went and saw Kim. I enjoyed seeing Kim,

maybe I enjoyed it too much. The two weeks was two of the worst weeks

I have ever had, not to mention the most boring. All I can say is I

hope real work life isn't this bad.
