The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A

You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
A temp job at BT. I still have nightmares about ADSL lines. I still don’t know what one is. I would find myself on national conference calls being questioned about ADSL lines and told that the problem was in London. I would try not to breathe so they would forget I was there.

Picking up dog poop at home: my sister and I used to take turns.

I’ve enjoyed every single job, including working at my dad’s chicken shop selling potato gems (fried potato circles) to the surfer dudes.
I don’t think I’ve ever done a job that I hate. I worked as a temp briefly when I was out of work and it was fun.

I was fidgety and clueless for a long time.
