Remembering.

I was sitting the other night having a wee chin wag with one of my younger Grandchildren.
She asked me several questions (as granddaughters do) about where I worked before I retired, and what I worked at before that job etc etc etc etc.
After she went home (and my ears had stopped burning),I got to thinking,just how many full time jobs I had had since leaving school ,at 15yrs (before the wheel was invented):WINK1:.

That's quite an impressive CV Music, you're obviously very versatile!
Of all those jobs you've done, which would you say was the most satisfying and rewarding?....
....and which was the worst?

then qualified to work as carer for difabled children and adults which i still do

i am lucky that i have never been out of work

 

Hi Trunky. Satisfying and Rewarding (Not Monetary) was A Railway Fireman On The Old Steam Engines. Rewarding in the sense of getting a steam engine ,that was not a good steamer ,to Steam and complete the Journey in time, that was Satisfaction and Rewarding. .

The Worst was A Floor walker. I could not bring myself to report some poor looking old biddy
for nicking something small from the counter. I could not report kids for nicking a couple of sweets from the counters. I would walk to the door and tell the culprits on their way out,
NEXT TIME,ITS THE POLICE. Hated that job.

 

I wonder what you would have done about Antony Worrall Thompson, Music.

Antony Worrall Thompson: I am not a kleptomaniac, maybe shoplifting is sign of Alzheimer's - Telegraph

 

I Would have confiscated the bottle of wine,had a Quiet word in his ear.
