@zoffiel You've certainly had a varied career. Silversmithing sounds interestesting! Dealing with the crap end of workplace issues doesn't but if it pays some bills, then I guess you've got to go with it. I'm pissed off with a system that has me waiting for income protection (oh sorry, it's going to take longer because we've got a backload of applications due to our new system) but because it's pending, I can't do any work if I'm feeling okay as it will take me back to square one. Ridiculous!
Prior to becoming a librarian in my 30s (with the fancy piece of paper to go with it), have worked in government roles of various descriptions, starting in the mailroom at Social Security, then as a printer, storeperson, courier (which was fun) and junior office manager. Quit to do some travelling overseas and in Oz, then did some fruit picking which I hated, and got a job doing erotic phone calls but ran away before I started! (can't shake a bottle of liquid paper without an euugggh feeling). Got a job in admin at uni back here in Adelaide in Finance with the intention of saving some money to go on travelling. Ended up using my long service leave to finish a double degree. That's how I ended up in libraries.
