First job in an office above the Co-op in Southend.
End of first day I nipped to the loo.
Came out to find everyone had left.
All doors locked and in total darkness.
Passer by heard me scream and called the police.
Police called the fire brigade.
Fire brigade broke in to let me out.
Oh the shame.
Second job in a solicitors office in Bishopsgate, London.
Got the sack on week 2 for reading 'Oz' in the office (Oz was a subversive magazine in the 70's).
Third job was a cleaner (yep downhill all the way for me)
First day was asked to hoover in the library.
Ancient hoover picked up loose thread of valuable antique rug.
Valuable antique rug unravelled and disappeared into hoover.
Couldn't turn hoover off.
Pulled hoover plug out of wall.
Entire socket came out of wall with wires and plaster.
Flash. Bang.
Gala suddenly on other side of room with hair standing on end.
I don't think I was cut out for work somehow...
