Re: HR droids...
When I was working as a student at a well-known (orange) UK supermarket in the early 80s, the manager saw me coming back into the store after lunch with a computer magazine for the VIC-20.
"Do you know about computers then? Do you want to run the System 25 on Saturdays?"
That's the point when I realised that IT was a lot less physical effort than stocking shelves.
