This book is a collection of light-hearted stories about the trials and tribulations of one person who, as a pimply faced uneducated fourteen-year-old boy, went forth into a totally unknown world; into a working life which began as a shearing shed roustabout, through to a managing director of an international pharmaceutical company, with many variations in between. Interludes mixed and varied, but in the author's word, "almost always interesting."
This book is not a boring chronicle of an everyday job but an insight into one man's effort to 'get and keep a job'.
It is written with a whimsical look at life's trials and tribulations in making a living in an era when the mantra of simply 'having a go' ruled.
The contents contained within these covers may just reflect a few similarities in others' working lives.
