I've had five applications for positions at the local DHB breast screening service declined over the last few years.

Oh, I dunno; I suspect there are quite a few plum salaried spots at the Office of Film & Literature Classification.

I've a mate who worked there for years. Did his head in. I taught him drums because, to quote, "they drowned out the vile desecrations that humans are capable of."

They don't generally watch "socially acceptable" porn for classification, plus the boss is a Nazi despite his pleasant public persona.

If I knew the answer to that I wouldn't be myself would I..........

I'd be -




How'd you pick what you want to do?

I was really dumb at school.

We had targetted career testing back then and after looking at the subjects I'd been studying and doing a couple of multi-guess psychometric tests, the answer came out: Windows Dresser or Flower Arranger. The careers counsellor was awesome, but I just didn't listen to him because I felt about as over-wrought in a teenager type fashion as it was possible to be - the counsellor suggested design school, but I think I flounced and huffed a lot and wouldn't talk to him from that point.

On reflection and after working at Comm Arts as the IT Manager and ending up helping with design for a number of different minor projects I shoul dhave gone to design school. I also should have gone with my hastily constructed backup plan of a double major in History and Psychology and a Masters in Strategic Studies.

Oh well.
