I dropped out of high school in 2003. Couldn't be bothered listening to teachers dribble on the same old boring shit another year. I didn't get my first job until a couple years later. Not that I wasn't trying to get one though.
My first real job was in the meatworks. I hated being cold all the time. Then I moved half way across the southern bite. And ended up putting 7 years into the foundries around the area. Dirty, sweaty. Hard ass job. But, I loved it.
Now. I'm an unemployed "lowlife" dole bludger. I'm still looking for work. But, I won't take just any old job these days. Don't want to be busting my ass for a loaf of bread.
