- My name is Gary
- My job is sitting in front of a computer adjusting bits of script to make things work.
- My age is 47.
- I live in Liverpool.
- I was born in Liverpool.
- My previous jobs included - being a musician and member of a band, stockbroker, events coordinator, music producer/studio owner, general dogsbody.
- The things I like best about this job are the fact that I am paid and that I work with good friends.
- The things I like least about this job are the fact that I no longer feel I am doing any valid work, that I am losing any skills that might get me other work and the lack of any empathy shown by senior management towards staff.
- To me, being a man should be the same as being a woman, both genders have the same values of love compassion, respect.
- My marital status is unmarried, but that is a condition of the legal system and society and not a reflection of my relationship.
- Children do not really figure in my life. I see them but I don't engage with them. I mostly worry that many of them seem to be brought up with little care or consideration for anything other than themselves and that society has been encouraging this for a long time until they are now biting back, so to speak.
- My parents gave me a sense of love and security and taught me how to live in the world with respect for other people and the world around me.
- My friends are a reflection of how I see the world because they reflect back my own feelings and values.
- My hobbies/spare time activities normally involve creating music, but I can get absorbed in many things such as working in the garden, painting or making things; or just reading a good book.
- When I get to work I enjoy the company of friends and my dislike of being where I am is lessened to an extent because of this.
- When I leave work I'm usually pretty relieved and normally walk home, planning my evening as I go.
- At this very minute I feel a bit daunted by the 28 day challenge but that's outweighed by feeling anxious and unfullfilled.
- Ideally this time next year I will be in another place, maybe another country and maybe happy.
- In the long term my ambition is to have a lifestyle where I don't wish my life away; where I enjoy every day for the sheer experience of living.
- The trouble with this organisation is they don't respect people enough to value their opinions or abilities.
- My idea of an ideal holiday would be one where I can really relax and not feel I've got to cram in as much experience within a short space of time as possible. Sitting on a veranda overlooking a beautiful valley with a fascinating book.
- Things that I find very difficult are: trying to think positively about the future, changing my job and moving house.
- If the worst comes to the worst in 12 months time I will have sold the house and will have bought a cheaper place with the proceeds, leaving us free to pursue another kind of lifestyle.
- The sort of things I worry about are finances and job security
- What this country needs is to mature and help its citizens develop a sense of respect for each other and the place they're living in.
- My religious beliefs are personal and about life as a learning process and completely against the fanaticism that prevails in the organised religions. A thousand bibles or korans are not worth one human life..correction not worth one sparrows life.
- To me being black/ white is irrelevant, which doesn't mean that in real terms it makes no difference, we live in a world that makes decisions about people based on how they appear. It's values, cultural or otherwise that are important.
- My secret fears are ending up without a job and with no way of finding one
- My feelings about myself are that I do have value but I'm having a hard time convincing myself of the fact.
