Well I did work experiences in a computer shop where I was instructed on how to build a PC. It was the only part of the experiences I really enjoyed since I gained a lot of knowlege about how PC's are put together. I don't really know about others but it reminded me a lot of lego
In terms of misadventures, I sliced the side of my hand open while prepping a case. Basically there is a piece of plastic which some cases have to block off the CD drive areas. I just shunted it as hard as I could and felt a pinch, pulled my hand out and saw a mighty wound. It was more horrific looking than painful, and I got to go home early for lunch, so yeah... Was awesome XD
Funniest thing I saw while I was there: A guy brought his computer in to have his power supply replaced, very simple thing to do, so it got jump forward in the repair queue. What should have been a 3 minute job was turned into an ordeal lasting more than half an hour, just becuase the guy who had brought it in had glued all of his wires into place.
