Hip Hip for the Doc!

After a full hour of mind-bending tedium in the woodwork shop, the GP has rescued me from the perils of sandpapering.
It seems that I'm such a physical wreck that manual labour and I should part company for the time being. Damn...
Note to future employers: Just don't expect me to lug stuff about or dig ditches. Apart from that, I'm your man. And reasonably priced as well!

  2. I've been a follower of your blog for some time, and I think this post raises an interesting point as you near what looks to be a well overdue and deserved release. That point is that in the outside world finding interesting, challenging and rewarding work which is also economically sustainable is a massive challenge, and for many impossible. I'm interested in how the system (and more importantly you) prepare yourself for this reality. I fear for you that there will be more immediate openings for ditch diggers than broadsheet news editors, for example. I wish you all the best, and thanks for the insight and continual efforts you make with your blog.
