Beekeeping! Well, I basically WAS a bee actually …collecting pollen from roses, and pollinating other roses to create new hybrids. NOT an ideal form of employment as I have serious hayfever, but I’d guess it probably would pass the ‘suitable for females’ test …unless the particularly prudish folk would consider pollination too close to sex for the truly ladylike individual 🤔
My school careers advisor suggested I be a basket weaver - in 1996. I think they must have been referring to a book like this 😆
I get hiding the school trip letter - my mum said I could go skiing but I took my name off because I feared we couldn’t afford it and grew up thinking we were poor.
In our case, it turned out we weren’t poor, my parents just preferred arguing over it as their means of communication 🙃
It stays with you though and those money stories are powerful.
Charli's line, highlighted in the title really stood out for me. It's such a good point - it made me think about the unconscious mind gymnastics I catch myself performing sometimes. Something like: "If I won the lottery, I'd do this anyway - so it's not like work - so I don't need/deserve to be paid - because you're not supposed to enjoy work?" I've definitely fallen prey to this thinking. Sneaky sneaky thoughts!! 😁
Interesting stuff x
Current topic parlors?!?
Ooh yes, I meant to pull that one out too! My ex father-in-law has a conversation club but I don’t know how you make that pay 😂
Careers guidance, here we come! Washing fluids. Mmmm.
Nothing with fluids, thank you! 😂

😂 I love that you were a bee. Totally imagining you in a costume.
Maybe I did wear full bee gear …it was 1997, my memory is hazy 🐝

I'm amazed that funeral inspector makes it in there.
Hot cookies seems ideal. And I support Hot Topics Parlor as a career path!
