On Twitter yesterday someone had posted a link to a blog post about their top five best and worst perks over 10 years working in the journalism industry.
There were some amusing tales in there which has prompted me to write my own list which I've added to my blog: http://orbellcomms.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/10-best-and-worst-events
To give you a flavour, here's one of the stories with a picture of me looking alluring on a bed.
CeBIT - Hannover, Germany (2004)
CeBIT is a mamouth trade show that takes place every year in Hannover, Germany. I only ever went once and despite the company going back for a second crack a year later, it was fairly obvious it wasn't worth the hassle of us attending. Any visitors who passed our appallingly positioned stand were only there for the giveaways and would stare back at us blankly whenever we explained our business model. Our accommodation those few days was something to behold too as we were basicly renting an unfurnished flat. Virtually every stick was moved out prior to our arrival apart from the beds. There was no common area other than the miniscule hallway or kitchen and none of the windows had any curtains. However, even this was prerable to what we nearly faced on the first night as we couldn't open the door to the flat for nearly half an hour despite having a key.
Tell me your best and worst moments from your career whether it was doing building work at Swedish Nuses home or rupturing your spleen in a freak coffee machine incident.
