Enigin Has Its Head Screwed On

I remember being an apprentice. It was horrible. Like being perpertually passed by a car which keeps repeatedly driving through a massive puddle and soaking you for fun. Only instead of water, being an apprentice involved being saturated in ridicule and being paid atrociously for it. Every day there was a new joke on us poor sods: first came the “can you get me a long wait please, mate?” followed by a three hour wait (it should have been a stupidly long wait, really). Then came the ever-popular “we need a few litres of Tartan paint, don’t come back until you have some! If it doesn’t come out in stripes right away then we don’t want it!”

Reading the following article about trainees brought me back quick-fast to those hellish days.

Thankfully, Enigin treat their staff with a bit more respect and I’m sure not one of them has ever been asked to go and buy some Tartan paint. And we need that, badly, because trainees are important. The last thing we need to do now we’ve got our world in such a state is put the younger generation off the idea of joining up forces with an energy-saving company!

In a perfect world, they’d teach energy-saving at school. It seems ridiculous to me that hours are spent baking cakes (shoddy cakes at that, not that cake-baking is not an important skill, of course), yet How To Help The Environment classes are a million miles away from happening.

But give it time. The way Enigin are going, they’ll be opening a school soon enough and creating (or growing?) a new super-breed of energy saving children who will save our planet from the clutches of Global Warming at the very last moment!
