What is your sense of humour like, and how important is humour to you?
I have been told that I have a very dry sense of humour. It consists mainly of sarcasm and can be quite dark at times. I usually say something for a joke and people think I'm serious and either think I'm a weirdo or an idiot.
I have spent most of my working life in mental health care and dementia care which can be quite difficult at times, and it definitely helps if you can see a funny side to things. Some of the things I've seen people do and say in my work have been hilarious, and a lot of people who have mental health problems or severe dementia still actually have a sense of humour. One of the best parts of my job is being able to have a good banter and laugh with the people I look after. My job would be absolutely dire if it wasn't for humour.
