He was great. Shame I didn't catch him doing his little act.</p>Paul WalshThu, 13 Mar 2008 10:48:46 -0000Re: Get off your ass - Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunisthttp://paulfwalsh.com/get-off-your-ass/#comment-4992378<p>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.</p>James CorbettThu, 13 Mar 2008 10:42:58 -0000Re: Get off your ass - Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunisthttp://paulfwalsh.com/get-off-your-ass/#comment-4992377<p>@Robin - I knew by spelling was crap, but I didn't realise my attention to the spell checker was equally bad.</p><p>@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 :)</p>Paul WalshThu, 13 Mar 2008 10:42:48 -0000Re: Get off your ass - Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunisthttp://paulfwalsh.com/get-off-your-ass/#comment-4992381<p>For some reason, my eyes got all watery over Carlos!</p><p>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.</p><p>Wish I'd appreciated then the luxury of being able to leave work at work...</p>Jackie DanickiThu, 13 Mar 2008 08:23:04 -0000Re: Get off your ass - Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunisthttp://paulfwalsh.com/get-off-your-ass/#comment-4992380<p>So you're gonna make "The Secret Millionaire!" on QIK instead? very clever (and far more entertaining!).</p><p>Did you mean "physiotherapist" or "Psychologist"?</p>Robin BlandfordThu, 13 Mar 2008 08:10:35 -0000
