Its in 3 parts.
Down on the farm was the last place I really wanted to do work experience. I was studying business at college and we had all been split up and sent out to the world of work. Fellow students of mine got to go to Internet companies, mass marketing franchises and online games companies, but not me. Oh no, I was sent from the sprawl of London to the sunny fields of Yorkshire. On the bright side though at least I would get a holiday.
I had packed my clothes the night before. I had done my research and opted for mainly denim in the form of shorts, jeans, bras and some cotton cammy tops, tie up shirts and a bikini or too for good measure. The world was a warm place these days. I made my way to the shuttle. There is one in every city. Can take you anywhere in mainland Britain in about 40 mins at most. It only took me 28mins to complete my journey.
When I got there I swiped my I.D. and got nav directions to the pick up point. A small ZOOT bot grabbed my luggage and followed silently behind. The man that greeted me looked friendly enough. He was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt that fitted his well built body.
"You must be Miss West." He smiled.
"Please just call me Alison." I offered
"Ok Alison, I'm Phil. I work on the farm but I would imagine its the office side that they have sent you here for."
"Well I am studying business. What's it like to work there?" I inquired
"Its really good. I've been there a long time and they are very good to me. I think you might enjoy it." He smiled again, a wide cheeky grin playing upon his lips.
"Maybe I will."
The ZOOT was already loading the luggage into the MCV (multipurpose carrier vehicle). I took the time to check my personal organiser and photograph the area for my project. I took some photos of Phil as well feeling that he deserved a place in my project already. We soon set off, hovering in our little vehicle over wire roads. I had never seen such beautiful countryside and was amazed at the difference between it and the city in which I lived. The fields were beautifully colored with all sorts of crops. The atmospheric containment fields creating the right weather patterns for the crops underneath. Where the fields ended there were little patches of cacti growing in the natural heat. It was breathtaking.
When we reached the farm I was amazed by how big it was. We have big offices in the city but this was something else. I was too busy staring up at the buildings to notice when I was greeted by the farm manager.
"Ahh, Hello Miss West I am Miss Alender but you may call me Gloria" Said a loud female voice.
I turned to see a woman only 5ft 2 in height and about 7ft in personality. Her broad shoulders and large bust were only accentuated by her well tailored suit and gave her a fearsome appearance. I had every confidence in her business skills.
"Please, call me Alison." I said giving my hand out for shaking.
"Phil, if you want to continue with your duties I will look after Miss West now."
"Yes Miss Alender." Phil replied eyes slightly glossy
Gloria turned back to me and gestured for us to walk.
"Phil seems like a good worker, how long has he been with you?" I asked
"Oh Phil was here even before I took over. He is one of our best. A brilliant model."
"Model?" I asked confused
"Oh yes. Phil is a multi function android model 88mu. We were worried he would break down due to it being an old model but we have an in house mechanic called Ruth who deals with upgrades and has recently refitted him with all the newest features."
"Wow! He looks so real though." I said
"I know, droids are a part of our society now and personally it has brought me nothing but joy and profit working with them."
I recorded what she said as she told me about the other droids on the farm as it would be useful for my project. She showed me the main buildings where they set up the atmosfields, store grain and other machinery.
The last building she showed me was the repairs workshop. We were greeted by and attractive woman, who I estimated was in her 30s. She had glossy brunette hair down to her shoulders which complimented her fair skin beautifully. She smiled as she put down the tools in her hand and approached us.
"Ruth, this is Miss West, she will be staying with us for the week to study business."
"Please call me Alison." I smiled, getting weary of that phrase.
Her handshake was firm and her skin a little cold but then she was working in a cooled building with metal. She showed me around the repairs workshop. It was quite large and had many boxes of bits. Some large machinery was at the back along with the more complicated tools. Facing the entrance was a table which resembled a medical bed. It was white and flat with little cushioning. There were monitoring machines and cables assembled round it. All of it I was sure was for the maintenance of the droid workers.
"So your in charge of all the maintenance?" I asked surprised it only took one person.
"Yep. I really enjoy it. I have been here a long time now but it is the perfect job." She smiled.
"Actually Ruth I have an important vidcall to make so if you could perhaps show Alison round the grounds, maybe the pool and such then that would be great." Gloria asked turning off her organiser alarm.
"Of course Miss Alender." Ruth responded.
Ruth lead me out of the workshop and onto one of the many stone paths that lead their way around the farm. To cut down on accidents all natural dirt paths had been replaced years ago with a tasteful, natural look yet easy to walk on old looking stone. As we walked past the side of the workshop she explained that this area had once been the gardens for the manner house that had owned the land. Miss Alender had been so taken with them that she had them all safety checked and decided to keep them as a perk to her employees and herself. The gardens were truly beautiful with huge trees and lush grass. Our path seemed to lead us through a woodland.
"So where does this lead?" I asked
"This will take us down to the old lake. Its all been refitted now with pure water but it is still a beautiful place" Ruth replied.
She wasnt wrong either. The lake was oval shaped with Willows and flowering bushes round the edge,not a cactus in sight.
"It looks so nice." I commented
"If you are hot, we could always go for a swim? Most of the staff do that after works done." Ruth offered
"But I dont have my swim wear on." I replied, actually quite disapointed
"Doesnt mater, neither do I but its so hot we would dry out by the time we got back. You are wearing underwear right?" Ruth said slighly
"Yes. Well it is really hot and if people usually go swimming here then I suppose its ok." I gave in
