[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 13203, member: 1991"] The radio station sounds fascinating - as a writer, I'd be taking notes. But I think you would have gone not so slowly barmy. SOME talkback can be OK, but when it's rednecks shouting over the callers, I just can't stand more than a millisecond or two. We have 'shock jocks' down under, too - absolutely appalling. I do wonder - I know I'm a meanie, but knowing that a HEAVY load of alcohol remains in the system for a lot longer (over 24 hours if they really wiped themselves out), I would have tipped off the cops and had them waiting to breathalyse sweet young drunk driver as soon as she leaves in her car... anything to keep me safer on the roads. Well, I can at least dream about it... It sounds like the insurance job is much more appropriate to your talents and interests. I hope you really enjoy it. And on the subject of getting back into the workforce, a new TV program that made its way Down Under at the end of last year - "Life Begins". It stars Caroline Quentin, it's a British TV series that deals with the changes a woman has to make to adjust when, at 40, her husband announces he's leaving. Sounds ghastly but between the pathos there's a lot of humour and positivity. She gets a job at a travel agency (has to be a bit sneaky about it when they tell her she's too old). I really enjoyed the first series - there are more on the way. Do try and watch it if you can lay your hands on it. Caroline Quentin does stand-up comedy. She was also in the first couple of series of "Jonathan Creek", another British TV series, about a magician's assistant who solves crimes. Maybe order it for yourself as a birthday present? It's definitely something for the smarter than average bear to enjoy... Good luck with the insurance job. And congrats for getting past the disability barriers that employers keep throwing up.
