I went to college and trained in I.T and then started a course in Electrical Engineering. Before personal issues meant I didn't go any further, eventually I was given a job and I spent 5 years working as a porter for a Commercial Removal Contractors. Basically, when big companys decided to move their offices to a new location I'd be one of the people packing up everything, Moving all the cupboards, desks and boxes and chairs!, Loading and emptying the Trucks and very often carrying the stuff up and down stair cases when there where no lifts!... Something that physically absolutely crippled me. We did a lot of travelling, mainly around the north west of England but we did travel further afield and stay from home for weeks at a time. And once I started becoming Ill with Crohns disease this was something that became physically and mentally even harder, I was forced to do ridiculous and probably illegal double shifts, for instance starting at 7 am on a friday morning, physically grafting until about 4 am on the saturday morning, only to go home for a few hours sleep and be back working again at 9 am later that morning. Something that stressed me out and tired me out , and i have no doubt it wreaked havoc as far as my crohns disease was concerned, so eventually i quit and got a part time job in a book makers call centre whilst i looked for somewhere to go with my life!... i started there in january, in april i was admitted to hospital and i have not yet returned to work.
