...gardening. Any ideas? I originally started off as Trainee at Berkshire College of Agriculture, working on the grounds, though work wasn't great, it was more calm than my experience in Retail Garden Centres for the last 12 years. I loved working with plants, taking cuttings, looking after them until selling. I was learning alot doing that. I had almost too many different jobs to do, plants and machinery cutting grass.
I have always favoured the quieter jobs, never mind the work load. Propagation seemed good. I could actually do this, as landscape gardening is too front-line, rushy and too many neighbours watching. I get a little paranoid if I am watched too carefully - I get angry inside when I know what I am doing but someone just has to poke their nose in and ruin it all. This is where I would swear them off - I am not willing to make friends, or run down (this happens in the garden centre a lot, a pain I have to live with at the moment.).
So, I do have a problem with people. Can't even have a normal social night out, without drinking critics and messy minds around. Maybe I'm too sober. True, I abstain from drinking, in far too much control, like OCD. I really need lightening up, take the worries off. Two ways - quiet drink with well known people, or, quiet retreat, wherever possible (even at home). The drink part is easier to come by - just be nice to people (never easy when you feel their vibration so easily).
So, as you can see, life is never easy. I do better when encouraged and given lucky breaks. I cannot be alone in this and created a decent positive attitude (some people can).
I'm not stuck in a rut, financially, but my careers interests are.
Thank you for reading this!
