That was me! I was the #WorkForTheDole supervisor who ran #TheShed.

Ten years of my life spending time in an old aluminium carport converted into an “office”.

Some participants loved it, others put up with it & maybe 25% resented being forced to attend & hated it.

I met some interesting people.

One night the shed was broken into, 15 PC’s stolen & the place was set alight. It melted into a pool of aluminium.

The arsonist was caught. A local crim, not a participant, thankfully.

(Thanks Sarah Missen)
