Hoping to cheer myself up as had a crap week!

So I'll start...

This week so far I got called a fing c**t, had a chair thrown at me, had a book thrown at me and been spat at.

Any guesses what I do for a living?

This week at work I have made pizza, given a statement to the Police, attended several meetings with a dog on my lap, delivered a presentation about self-harm, played Scrabble, had some very graphic conversations about online pornography, danced to George Ezra and comforted both adults and children of various ages while they cried.

I help people get more money, but it sometimes takes an inordinately long time for them to actually see any of it.

Today, one of those people got a 5-figure that they should have received in 4-weekly instalments starting around 2 years ago.

University registry.

Previous role - more tricky. Passport office?! Benefits office?

About mine. Everyone here is much more highly qualified than me, but only a few people get paid anything by this establishment. Apart from myself, those people tend to be in their 20s.

Yes to university registry.

Previously, I was a local government officer and some people had a rather strange attitude towards us, as though there were two species of human being: “the taxpayers ” and “the council jobsworths”.

It never seemed to occur to some people that most of us were local residents who paid council tax and used the same services as everyone else.
