Proper Job

Further to yesterday’s post about Jay Griffiths, the Idler asked Jay in 2015 if she’d ever had a proper job:

I’m so glad you asked that! I was talking to a friend about this recently because she is living in a shed (and I’ve lived in a shed and the winters are brutal). We agreed that we’d endure anything rather than give ourselves over to The Man and get a proper job.

Well said.

(I don’t know if that friend is Catrina Davies, but it definitely and obviously is.)
