Geez.....you have all had much more interesting jobs than I did.....

Nearly all my working life was spent in libraries, over 25 years of that in school libraries. I left when one too many teenage princesses flounced out the door when I wouldn't let her borrow any more books until the overdue ones (which were well and truly overdue by the way, not just a day or two) were returned; I'm sure she would have slammed the door behind her if it hadn't been automatic.

For a time I was the librarian in a veterinary research and development laboratory specialising in parasitology and learned more than I ever needed to know about animal parasites.....does that count?
