Out of work - bills to pay ... but I DO love this job!
I am an Industrial Chemist - worked at Pasminco and CRA Research.
Then worked as research Assistant for Prof of Chemistry at University of Newcastle - the 2nd best job I have had..
Sadly, he died of lung cancer,
which left me unemployed,so i spent a year as volunteer in the music department at my children's school. They must have become sick of me hanging around and gave me a paid job in their office. They started a separate school for students with behavioural problems, and I transferred to that school as THE office person/ general assistant etc etc. This school had 'School on the Road', where, 3 days a week, we took the students out in 7-seater vehicles and did classes in the district - eg science at Port stephens beaches, History at the Newcastle breakwater.... we commenced every day cooking breakfast for them, then teaching them how to cook for themselves.. our main cooking classes were mainly barbecue or campfire cooking, because we were out of the buildings and on the road... THIS was THE best job I have had!!!
Things changed in this school - and I needed another job. I had been involved in Youth Ministry for many years, and so working in schools was the obvious choice for me...
