[edit] Work Experience

Paper boy
- Relaxing and good exercise
Server at internet café
- Too easy and boring, normally consumed 2.5 cigarrette packets + one bottle of wine per day
Waiter/cleaner/kitchen hand/barrister/everything else at Chinese restaurant
- Tiring, but good fun
- Far too tired to drink. 0.5 cigarrette packets per day.
Waiter at English restaurant
- Spent too much time standing around doing nothing. Ended up talking to all the customers and learnt how to say "How are you?" in hundreds of languages. Bar tender did not want to serve alcohol to me. Spent 10min everyday after work convincing her to give me some vodka (well, let me buy it actually).
Programmer
- Up and down, up and down. Sometimes 40 hour weeks, sometimes 80 hour weeks. At least it is more convenient and I have time to organise my weeks.
- 1 cigarrette packet per day. 1 bottle of wine + cheese & crackers per week (though usually all in half an hour).
- I quit and went back to uni
