Before I had time to complete my nth Mills & Boon, autumn shades coloured the avenues and the time approached, in fact it was hurtling towards me. I made my way to the Careers Office. They were very helpful, explained how there were no jobs (at that time) but that they had a number of work experience roles they could offer.
As I was keen I asked her what areas of work in those roles were available, she read through each card, "Shoe shop Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant, Inland Revenue Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant, Retail Assistant, Shoe shop Assistant" and looked at me expectantly.
"Er, were there Two jobs that didn't involve shoes or footwear?"
She looked through her cards (shuffled them) and said, "No, just the one".
"Oh, well in that case, I'll go for the one that doesn't involve shoes"
I was told to make sure I stayed by the phone when I got home.
