Autobiographical sketches 88 - Tom Allen Arts Centre

Printing out labels, stuffing envelopes. I thought it was a cushy job. You could listen to music while you worked. Heck it was a community arts centre!

We used to have a few noticeboards at some community sites round the borough. They were rather falling into disrepair by the time I joined the team.

By the way, Matt came to the Tom Allen Arts Centre to a few parties. I didn't meet him. But I wish I had. He would have seemed a lot younger than me then though, as there's a seven year age gap between us and I was in my early twenties.

I worked here as marketing officer between 1990 - 1995 my first 'full time' proper job. The CV doesn't lie!

I've tried to depict my rather questionable garb. Still I guess I look just as bad today. The boots were a bit uncomfortable though, as sometimes I wore DMs. And they didn't agree with my feet, too structured. I have terrible flat feet.

I used to like this part of the job and sought out times I could do it, walking around in the open air, posting leaflets through doors. Time to think. It didn't bother me at all.
