So began the next 4 decades of my life. 26 of those years were spent in Sydney, where I was schooled, grew up and entered the work force. Those were the days when the jobs outnumbered the unemployed. During these years I also travelled, married in the USA (Ft Hood, Tx), returned to Oz, had a son, divorced, travelled to U.S.A. and the U.K., remarried, again travelled to the U.S.A. and also New Zealand.

I had an assortment of jobs, each one improving on the last, especially in the hip pocket. The final one being a position with an advertising agency working for a crazy, but great boss, John Singleton. This was the job I loved the most, we worked hard and odd hours, but there were benefits galore. Cruises on the Harbour celebrating the company birthday, catered BBQ's in the courtyard, free drinks on Friday nights, Christmas parties in the middle of the year (when it was cold), previews to new movies, invitations to media balls and so on... When I joined the company I was ultra conservative until 3 months later when we had a 'Bad Taste' party and I dressed as Mrs. Mops from the Carole Burnett Show had everyone fooled as to who I was. I won first prize and I competed against Playboy Bunnies!
Tood-a-loo to my conservative personality!
