I’ll be the first person to offer other people help or a listening ear, supporting them through situations or giving them a pep talk as required. It’s part and parcel of being a friend. Being a relative. Being a colleague. Really, being a good person. So, it’s funny then when you think about two things.

Reely Jiggered at Tartan Week, New York (Image: Reely Jiggered) Imagine travelling across the globe to perform songs you had written sitting in your hometown of Gourock. To see crowds singing lyrics about the Clyde back at you. To watch people from across the globe wearing your merch. For most of us, that’ll just be a fantasy we have when we take the microphone at karaoke or we’re in our shower waiting on our conditioner to sit for five-minutes.

It’s self-explanatory isn’t it, but the people you work with can really make or break a job (Image: Newsquest / Pixabay) When I was in university, I applied for a part time job to work in the CalMac Ferries contact centre over the summer.

Really chuffed that I've returned to my hometown paper as a columnist and features writer for the brand-new Weekend @greenocktele!
