I was born in a small town in Tasmania. I got my primary education from the local nuns and my secondary education in a Catholic boarding school. Naturally I emerged from these experiences completely unprepared for adult life. Fortunately I won a scholarship to university so I was spared, for a couple of years, from having to grow up. Eventually I had to get a job and in the years that followed I worked in a tin mine, the advertising department of a country newspaper, a spark plug factory, a motor vehicle assembly plant and a place that made shoe polish and veterinary products. I was a fitter's assistant in a steelworks and a shunter on the Tasmanian Government Railways. I mixed additives for concrete and bituminous emulsions for various purposes
There were other jobs too but I can't remember them all. Eventually I joined the Victorian Public Service where I started out paying government subsidies to kindergartens. From there it was a short step to getting involved with professional registration boards (psychologists, medical practitioners, dentists) before going over to the dark side and working for a professional association of dentists. Now I'm retired and just killing time while I wait for it to kill me.
