Left), Carpet company almost outside my house (lovely people, but in the meantime was offered a job in an art gallery), Art gallery for a Van Gogh immersive experience (the job was dull, the manager hated by everyone, but made so many friends with younger kids trying to make it as artists. Probably the best bunch of people I ever worked with.), META (admin stuff, impossibly stressful job. I hate staring at computers and corporate talk). META made me redundant because they were closing one of their sites in London, so I sussed out different options. I had fallen in love with someone I will spend the rest of my life with, so I thought I'd change my job in a way that would be a little more suited to who I am and gives me more time to dedicate to things I want to do. Less money than most of my previous jobs, but at least I don't have to commute to sheer horror every day.

You Londoners are spoilt for choice. You've had more jobs in that time period than I've seen jobs advertised in my town.
No lie. Mind you, It looks like you were living the dream for awhile in that bar, being amongst all that beer day in day out.
