Thought I might collate ALL the paid jobs I ever had. I used to temp so I've probably forgotten a few. I am going to start a🧵I occasionally add to otherwise I'd be here all day. Attempting to recall chronologically but no guarantees🥴
1st job: Working in boarding kennels🐩😾/1
2nd job: washer up in posh restaurant called Three Chimneys, Long Melford, Suffolk. It was like working in 🔥🔥🔥 Occasionally destringed a bean. HATED the job the smells were 🤢 not unlike 1st job...
Was fired when new boy got hired /2
Already got mixed up! This is a rewrite. 3rd job at father's business @Codeway in Colchester doing admin type jobs involving press releases. Telephone calls to paper suppliers went very wrong and was accused in writing of 'purporting' to work there by perplexed business owner /3

No-one has asked but here's a thread about adopting the handle @OfKnockamillie
To start this thread, Knockamillie is the name of land perched above the village of Innellan, overlooking the Firth of Clyde south of Dunoon #Argyll
Today you could blink and you'd miss it 👀 /1
I've seen many different spellings over the years in my research including, Knochamelie, Knockamellie, Knockamely all of which makes research *interesting*
(I became an etymological detectorist to try and determine the word's origins from the #Scots #Gaelic ) my theory is /2
Knockamillie (modern spelling) as per the road name has evolved from the Gaelic 'cnoc' or 'cnocach' meaning hill or hilly and 'maille' which I have seen translated as cape or promontory which would fit with its elevated peninsula location overlooking the Clyde (red map pin) /3
