So you're gonna make "The Secret Millionaire!" on QIK instead? very clever (and far more entertaining!).
Did you mean "physiotherapist" or "Psychologist"?

For some reason, my eyes got all watery over Carlos!
Most cringeworthy job was my first at legal age. I'd done loads of babysitting and pitching it at my dad's office on reception but the day I turned 16 and could legally work, I had an interview at the truck stop down the road from my house. No, it's not what you're thinking: I got a highly prized job as a dishwasher. It was mostly loading and unloading a boil/steam washer, which was especially ace in the humid, 100+ degree Ohio summer. Eight hour stretches on my feet - also a blast. Mopping the floors was the highlight of my shift.
Wish I'd appreciated then the luxury of being able to leave work at work...

@Robin - I knew by spelling was crap, but I didn't realise my attention to the spell checker was equally bad.
@Jackie - I did the whole dish washing thing in an Indian restaurant. I think my sandwich board moment beats that. At least you're hidden inside a kitchen :)

Really nice post Paul. I've only ever been, er,.. confronted by a Big Issues seller a handful of times but each time I walked quickly past... not because I don't care but because I found each seller had an aggressive attitude (that's why I say 'confronted). Wish I'd met the likes of Carlos.

@James - I wanted to talk to this guy on camera so much that I sat in a put drinking coffee waiting for my N95 to charge. He was great. Shame I didn't catch him doing his little act.
