During my working life I had many jobs but never felt comfortable in any of them, and was in a constant running battle with the jobcentre who kept trying to send me to jobs that I felt weren’t my calling.
For example they once sent me to apply at a convenience store but when i saw stuff like porn mags and cigarettes and booze on the shelves i thought ‘i’m not handling stuff like that’ and walked back out.
Another time they ordered me to volunteer to help refurbish a Hindu temple but i refused pointblank and had my dole money temporarily reduced as punishment.
Likewise, they wanted to send me to the local dockyard to be a forklift driver loading bombs and missiles onto warships, but again i refused pointblank.
