Hope for the Future.
on: March 18, 2009, 07:17:32 PM
As most of you know I'm lucky enough to work in a school, and one of the consequences of that is that I have to suffer a large number of work experience kids between the ages of 14-17 years old ::)

For the most part there sullen and uncommunicative as well as utterly clueless as to how to act or behave in the real world :-\

Not so this latest lad :)

He's bright, chatty, hard working and has a very well developed social conscience too :) In other words a real breath of fresh air, and a hope for the future too :tu:

So much so in fact, that I gave him a Vic Lumberjack :D
Give in, buy several Farmer's!!!!!!

That's really good to hear.  :tu:  Shows there is some hope after all.  Just so long as he's cautious about who he tells.   ::)  Shouldn't be that way, but I fear it is. :-\

I want one, I make no bones about it. In my new job, email is good most of the time, but my "office" is my car, home, customer site, wherever  happen to be, and I have to lug thing slike staplers etc round with me. I have a really cheap "office multitool" that I picked up for a fiver or something that lives in my laptop bag, but a Wenger one would work better, and be cooler  8)

Apparently the interior of my laptop bag was designed by the guy and is inspired by the interior of the new Aston Martin DB9, and frankly, this cheap tool lets it down badly :D
I used to come here a lot.
