I've had many and varied occupations. I used to work as a nurse (six years), as a debt adviser (five years), as an outreach worker, as a hotel maid, selling outdoor gear, as a waitress, as a sign language user's support worker, as a note-taker, in factories, in law courts, in hospitals, in colleges and in universities. Not all at the same time. The most jobs I ever held simultaneously (well , during the course of each twenty-four hour day) was three. Oh, and raising three children aswell. In fact, I believe I held three jobs in 1973, 1982-1987, and 2002-4. This constitutes three time periods, they weren't the same three jobs.
I've been paid rubbish. I've had tips. I've volunteered.
I keep hoping for better
I had a rubbish education
Until I was thirty five. I went to college, it was sooo great. I studied sociology psychology english counselling sign language, then university where I read sociology and social policy, anthropology, women's studies and forensic psychology, then post-grad school where I researched social polarisation in the built environment, then distance-learning university studying behavioural science, then night-school university where I took management studies.
It stopped being so great
When I was fifty-five I quit studying
and started blogging
*lol* hello! *waves*
