Cleaner, tomato picker, waitress, potter - and now teacher and trainer. I don't know what I'm going to do when I grow up.

Sorry folks - I just realised how boring all these are in reality! Except maybe the pots.

Most interesting job is the present one, I think. I'm a Research Scientist (mucositis - the damage to the gut caused by chemo/radiotherapy). I get to see bits of human intestine and it looks like the bone part of an ox-tail when in 2cm sections. It's a right b1tch to keep still when you're trying to cut it, too, lol!

I could well have the most out-there one yet.

When I first moved to France I was running out of money so took the only job I could find at the time...
...standing in the street handing out flyers and getting people to go into a strip club.

It was an absolute pit of a place, full of letching men (and the odd strange girl who went in for some odd reason) - so bad in fact that on a few occasions I was threatened with violence for telling people to go in there.

I quit that job the instant I had enough money to get by for a bit longer.

I think the worst moment (the point where I accidentally saw part of a show when I went in to get a beer [puke!] doesn't count as I was on a break) was standing outside at -24�C trying to fill a club I hated everything about when anyone insane enough to have left their house/flat/hotel was in a pub sitting by a fire. Nobody was out and I was working until 3am.

Grim.

The snowboarding was great though!
