Today, an unpaid intern had his first day at my workplace of seven years. As a joke, my boss gave him the same challenge she gave me on my first day. The intern completed it in 37 minutes. We've always been told it's impossible. Guess we all have to start working harder. FML

The challenge was to create a protocol for measuring the thickness of double and triple glazed windows (none of which open) around the company's building. Nothing to do with our actual jobs, most of us just figured it was a trick to get the new guys caught staring out of windows. He won't tell me his method...

OP, based on your profile, you've been working for the same company since you were 13. Is it even legal to work at that age in England? Just a thought...

It sounds like OP has been working there since they were very young. So, since an intern (probably needing class credit) most likely has higher-level training in this field, and it's not surprising they completed a challenge relevant to the job.
