Nailed it.” There is an image of a completed NaNoWriMo graph.

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you’re doing now

1. Soft play attendant (at Wacky Warehouse for those who remember it)
2. Terrible waitress in a tiny village pub
3. Corn maze scarer (very recent, will 100% be repeating)
4. Various call centres (various levels of awful)
