Reply #20: At school I worked in an opticians on Saturdays. [View All]

Started off just filing patient records, but then learned some other stuff too - I'd give people their preliminary checks (which just involved pointing machines at them), and I would mark up lenses for people's glasses, or check the prescription in the finished glasses in the lab...basically anything to avoid being visible and ready for passing members of the public to ask me questions. ;)

I did that for a couple of summers from university as well, but in my last summer I signed up as an office-temp and did data-entry after two weeks the company decided that I was utterly underused and so I was turned into data-management in which I was still underused but could sit around e-mailing friends all day long. :D
