Well, actually, do you know, believe it or not, do you remember the shop Rocha Stores?

Yeah.

I was in there for a couple of years and then went into the insurance industry.

It's not a good industry to be in if you have a soul.

And so I went into insurance and then from there went from sort of admin to IT and I was in IT for a long, long time.

What felt like an incredibly long time.

It wasn't for me at all, but it took me a long time to realise that.

Then after that, I fell into

a brilliant job, a corporate detective, which was investigating serial false accident claimants.

And so it was literally like James Bond.

It was like sort of mini cameras and hats and whatnot.

It was fantastic.

But yeah, they were kind of my careers up to then.

At the end of that poem, The Hat Street Years, you're in a lift with a guy.

It's very good at depicting the drudgery of a job that you don't like.

And he says, it's a living, he said.

And you say, is it?

That's it.

I can't believe you remember that.

That's cool.
