Landscape Gardener
EQUATOR DEVELOPMENTS LIMITEDLandscape Gardener
Jul. 2007 - Aug. 2008Cheshire EnglandThe company was owned by John Williams. We built play-systems (read: playgrounds), water features, crazy paving, patios, outhouses. We gardened, weeded, pruned, sprayed, mowed, lifted and shifted. A typical summer weekend schedule looked like this: 5am - Start 5.15am - At the farm to get material, tools and supplies. Sometimes, we would go to the quarry (e.g. to get the 4-by-3 flagstones). 6am - At site. Setup. 6.30am - Tea. Briefing. 6.45am - Start work. [...] 7pm - End That was every Saturday and Sunday. We learnt how to deal with customers that were dishonest paymasters (we'd go in and remove what we had built). Great business training. I had the privilege of working on some of the lushest, most gorgeous gardens in Cheshire. I learnt the art of conversation, e.g. from manor house owners who regaled us with stories (e.g. "Yesterday, a helicopter landed in my back garden - the lad said he wanted to buy my house and that his name was Robbie Williams. Do you know who he is?")

Customer Service and Cashier
Co-opCustomer Service and Cashier
Jul. 2000 - Aug. 2002Marple, England, United KingdomManned the cashier checkout on weekends. Eventually upgraded to manning the customer service and cigarettes kiosk. I learned how to enjoy menial, repetitive work, quick mental arithmetic, and how to manage vexatious complainants. I also began to understand the role of insurance when it came to theft, and the procedures to follow in that event. Breaks were held in the staff pantry: a small, cosy area full of salt of the earth characters.
Pot Washer

Jul. 1999 - Jul. 2000Marple Bridge, England, United KingdomWeekend job. I learned how to handle unique personalities, and high pressure environments, as well as vexatious complainants.
Newspaper delivery
Marple Bridge Post OfficeNewspaper delivery
Jan. 1997 - Jan. 1999Marple Bridge, England, United KingdomDelivered the correct newspaper to the correct address every Saturday and Sunday morning. This had to be done before they started their day with their morning newspaper. [Ed: In 2024, this seems anachronistic] Starting at the hermitage on the corner of Glossop Road and Cote Green Lane, my newspaper round ended on Greenbank Road. The news had to be delivered in all weather: sunshine, rain, snow or ice. Sometimes required exceptionally quick thinking when dealing with large aggressive pets, vexatious complainants, and incorrect inventory management. I made £5 a weekend. I learned discipline, rarely skipping or missing any days.
