Cameron learned really quickly, pity he's got another year at school as if he was interested we'd offer him a social digital apprenticeship. If we need someone in a year's time and Cam is interested then we'd be keen to offer him a post. Considering he's not done any design before, by the end of the week he created a simple site on his own including some php form to mail and lightbox - great effort in a week.
Chloe was great, fantastic attitude to work, punctual, smart and bright. We've got some paperwork to do but we will be offering Chloe an apprenticeship and look forward to her starting with us if she accepts.
So two great young people. I watched a bit of a programme during the week, no idea what it is called but included some of the Apprentice old folk, that pits young v old in the world of work and guess what...
.. yes, young people are rubbish. What a pile of b*ll***s. Nothing against old people but we have a huge pool of young, intelligent talent who are demonised by much of the media and being treated like crap by this Government making it too expensive to study but hard to get a job. Well hopefully we can be one of the many employers who have faith in our young people and provide them with the opportunities they need.
Was a bit of a mental week for me, with 3 sites just about made (still a couple of final tweaks) as well as looking after Chloe and Cam and hopefully making their week worthwhile for them. A few important meetings that might have a big effect on the business in the long run including a 6.45 meeting start and a lot of very late nights to keep up with the workload. Going to make time early next week for a post work beer with friends and a catch up.
Lots of work again next week, including the weekends, but will sneak out for a walk over the North Yorks Moors tomorrow a.m. The office will seem really quiet for a week as there's only me in - will drive myself mad as I get on my nerves, God knows how bad it is for others who have to put up with me.
