KEY POINTS:
Avril from Auckland writes: Money and merchandise started to go missing overnight at the video store where I worked, along with the security camera tape. Obviously an inside job, but hard to pinpoint a suspect. The camera recorder was kept in a back room, and the manager changed the lock. The next day we watched the tape and saw a staff member come in, disarm the alarm, steal movies and the till float, and then go to remove the tape...only to find that his key no longer fit. We'd caught the thief - but the best part was the look on the face of the store owner's son when he realised he was busted.
Nigel from Te Kauwhata writes: Worst varsity job ever. Night shift on a production line cleaning the dags from around sheep's rear ends. I was out the back, in the dark, dropping bags of the uncleanable dags into a putrid, water-filled dumping hole and fell off the trailer into waist-deep hell. Climbed out, downed tools and sulked in the smoko room until a local finished his shift and drove me home. One night only, never collected the pay cheque.
