Waitressed in a pub while I was at college.
Left college and worked in Rickmansworth for five months as a house keeper type thing for a nice couple.
Came back up North and worked for a temping agency for three months or so.
Got the job at the Inland Revenue which lasted 18 years
Jacked the whole lot in (just before I lost my will to live completely) to run my own business which is still only a baby at 21 months old but I love being my own boss ... you can't beat it ... I'd hate to go back to being someone's employee.
