I used to collect tickets at a railway station. I also played in the darts team for the pub across the road. I'd often have to pause mid game to meet the train then come back to continue chucking arrows; best job I ever had.

If only they'd had a set of ideas for how to do things like this, they could have given it a posh name, like an 'idea-ology' or something.
