I was

I was a(n):

• accountant, analyst, architect, bar useless, consultant, designer, developer, director, financial planner, manager, milk man, paper boy, and photo lab technician.
• arrestee (but never charged!).
• backpacker. Everyone should experience this.
• believer that common sense, imagination, problem solving, and research skills are super powers.
• Canberra Raiders fan… before they won, while they won, and for 20+ long years since they won.
• closet idealist.
• creator of the infamous “evil grandmother” test.
• cricket tragic.
• defendant. If you can’t afford to defend a lawsuit, it doesn’t matter how right you are.
• escapee from the rat race, uncoupling the investment of time from the generation of income.
• emotional throwback. Nobody likes a dickhead, a martyr, a victim or a wuss. Own your decisions!
• exhibitionist. Unwittingly so… the internet is forever!
• explorer. Arguably a synonym for frequently getting lost.
• grandson, son, husband, father, and uncle.
• investor. Good is better than lucky, but sometimes being lucky is enough.
• marathon runner finisher.
• migrant. This is harder than you imagine, be nice to migrants.
• mortal. Disappointingly so.
• ovarian lottery winner. Being born a middle class white male in a developed country during a time of (relative) peace and prosperity was a fortunate starting position indeed.
• piece worker, casual, permie, temp, freelancer, and business owner.
• porno movie lead audition invitee.
• representative sportsman. Smaller constituencies result in greater stories!
• sceptic. Age grows wisdom but dilutes certainty.
• tenant, a home owner, a tenant once more.
• thrower of bricks, herder of cats, and professional meeting attendee.
• torturer of computers.
• university graduate.
• wordsmith.
