The 9 to 5
I swore i'd never join the corporate world of 9 to 5'ing it. But it wasn't the best of times, i was skint and playing my guitar on street corners was only getting me moved on, and the possibility of a criminal record (well, i was murdering David Bowie on the 5th fret).

So, i joined our well-known Health Organisation in the United Kingdom.

How my day pans out:

Sounds like
You work far too hard. You can't possibly work for a government agency doing that much.
