Doc can I ask you a question wonder how many times you have heard that usually when you have just sat down in the pub

Compared with the number of jobs everyone else seems to have done, my CV is positively boring!

I could shorten my list and make it really boring if you like:-

Saturday jobs
Civil Service 6 years
£10 Pom - whatever job came along
Civil Service again for 24 years
Voluntary redundancy!

Isn't that tedious?

Fortunately, the Department (Welsh Office) was responsible for nearly all Government work in Wales and we were encouraged to change our jobs every 3 years or so to gain experience, which I did.
Mostly, I'd look for a job that involved travelling around Wales and apply to be transferred to it.
They sponsored me to train as an Internal Auditor (2 years in London) and the followup MSc in Business and Management. (So bored, just writing that). But the principles have stood me in good stead, even as a Moderator.............for example, never trust a man who wears white socks or believe someone who posts whilst drunk.

Trying to annoy rary

Waitress in a cafe, telephonist for a building company. I then joined the SAS...seriously!! That is the Scottish Ambulance Service!
Married, joined family business, still there but in between times was an exam invigilator!

[veggiechicken]

I'm sorry, rary, I shouldn't annoy the elderly. I'll show you more respect in future.

Talking of Ancient Monuments, I once visited your old castle where they found a small chest (about 32A) containing a few pennies with a parchment that said, "Ye Coines herein, belong to ye Ancient Rary and to his suns and hairs until time immoral............"

It was obviously yours as it was full of typos.

[Thelma Sanders]

£10 Pom - whatever job came along

I know I'm tired and I've only got the small light on...... but I can't be the only one that read that as £10 porn, can I?

[veggiechicken]

Its your mind, Thelma! Whichever way you read it, it was a bargain for something that lasted 2 years.
