Linking up with Ashley and Neely for the Sunday Social
1. Name 4 jobs you've had in your life.
I
have had so many it's hard to remember them all... I did a lot of part
time jobs paying my way through University. Current job: Chartered
Quantity Surveyor; apple picker (lonely, boring, and surprisingly hard
work); filing clerk (often for many companies, very good at filing);
cleaner (some excellent jobs there - I liked the one where I cleaned a
tall Edwardian office conversion, alternate floors on alternate days and
delivering coffee/tea twice round the building... otherwise sitting in
the kitchen and reading. I also liked the one where we had to keep the
toilets stocked with paper and empty the bins and spent the rest of the
time hiding in the basement corridors reading).
