Writer will consider anything
A Howick freelance writer signed up for a jobsite email alert for writing and PR work. She's already been notified about jobs as a surgical nurse, a mechanic and even a swimming tutor. All problematic for a woman who says she "hates blood, cannot change a tyre and doesn't swim".
Isn't it ironic?
"How's this for irony," says Roger. "A year or so ago I was knocked off my bike on the corner of Momona Rd and Great South Rd in Greenlane by a right-turning hit-and-run driver. I ended up with two broken ribs and a cracked pelvis. Witnesses were on hand, but I was in no fit state to be gathering names and addresses. The ambulance took me to casualty and about five hours later the police turned up. Not a lot to be done after that amount of time had passed. But the real irony is that while they could not attend a serious injury accident, they were happy to have somebody clicking away collecting dosh in exactly the same area."
