Half Corona Cigars & A Bottle of Toluene…
A Job You Could Stick To!
My days of brush-pushing on the shopping malls were coming to an end, through choice I might add.
One thing I would like to point out here, given my checkered employment journey so far: Many may think jobs were plentiful back in the ’80s and ’90s. Not so, here is a graph of the unemployment figures in the UK that underpin how difficult it was back then:
Today, the UK is running at around 4% on average.
Anyway, I digress.

I get itchy feet when I see an opportunity and can’t wait for that process to work…
