| Introduction | I'm one of those people that temp agencies, and ordinary employment interviewers, don't know what the heck to do with. I have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, which is still an interest, but I don't want to do the kind of work I did in that area ever again. Besides, I left it 15 years ago. I then worked in publishing as a production editor, and then freelance copy edited and proofread. But that was by hand, in the US (while I now live in England), and I don't yet know Quark. Then I got a degree in textile design and worked for a fashion company. None of these skills are apparently of any use in finding work in Norwich, UK, at the age of 57, so I'm working a very boring office job three days a week. Have a suggestion? Please speak up. |
| Interests | Any and all handskills and the works they produce; especially anything related to textiles. Politics and political discussion. Comparison of cultures. Fantasy books. Anything that help the public relate to the arts. |
| Favorite movies | Raiders of the Lost Ark, King of Hearts |
| Favorite music | Musicals, especially the older ones, and bluegrass/old timey music, rock |
| Favorite books | Greening of America, anything by Studs Terkel, Heinlein, Harry Potter, Robert Jordan and that ilk |
Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?
Don't need to fake it. I am a bard, a storyteller and singer and artist.
