[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 274162, member: 16173"] Speaking as someone approaching 50, who did an apprenticeship and now works with them: 1) Don't be LATE! 2) Don't mouth off in front of clients 3) If, and you will, make the occasional f*** up tell someone quick - don't cover it up 4) Don't be afraid to ask 5) If they're paying for your college etc MAKE THE MOST OF IT. When your young all you have to keep is often your car and your d**k. Don't be a saint but if you put motors and women first (like I did) then college can suffer (trust me)! Its a hell of a lot harder when you're married/mortgaged and all kidded up! 6) If borrowing tools, look after them and give them back 7) Try and be proactive rather than stand there texting. Try and anticipate the tool the sparks will want next - you'll get home earlier! 8) +1 on the rubbish. on a lighter note: 6) DO make/get the tea and give the change back 7) Don't spend an age playing games on your iPhone even if it's your break. We only like Pong & Space Invaders 8) We're not interested in a fashion show if you come back from Gap or whatever after lunch 9) We WILL take a great interest in photos of your bird! Video even better! 10) Accept they'll take the pi$$. It'll be soon enough and you can do the same to someone else! [/QUOTE]
