GRRRR
So the status on my 'work experience' hasn't changed and I'm still here sitting at the computer doing nothing.

Over 3 hours a go the other work experience girl, who I became friends with, walked out and no-one has noticed at all. No-one's asked where she is or asked for an explanation, it's utterly ridiculous. They simply don't give a shit. She sent the guy who is supervising us an email and got up and left. She felt so miserable that over lunch today she said she was considering a different career because of the way she had been treated. How appalling is that?

She told me that she had done work experience in Italy, which is where she is from, and it was a lot different. They included her in tasks, spoke to her, the environment was lively and positive, the complete opposite to what it is here. I feel like I'm a nuisance and that it is an enormous waste of my time. I have learnt that I can surf the net for 8 hours straight. Brilliant.

I'm not going back tomorrow because I can't stand another day of being ignored and doing sod all!

I certainly do NOT want to be an Independent journalist, I think I'll stick with my ambition of being a music journalist. At least I'm snobbish enough to challenge music journalists as I have a silly knowledge of music.

Only 15 mins and then I can leave.

YAY

It's absolutely appaling that they've treated you that way. Do they honestly expect to treat people like that and maintain staff? Perhaps it's a devious ploy to put so many people off of journalism that they have no competition, and only the most insane people stick with it, and stick with them?

You'll be so good at music journalism, you were born for it. Best stay away from these people who don't know how lucky they were to have you!
