Name: Eleanor Spence
Job Title: PA to The Source Director
Employment Length: 3 years 11 months

First things first, What have you done to your foot?
Nothing wrong with my foot.  I've torn fibres in my thigh whilst running the Sheffield Half  Marathon which has me hobbling on crutches...but if it's good enough for Paula Radcliffe, it's good enough for me.

What is the aim of your job?
To keep Mrs. Cadman busy and out of mischief!

What are your hobbies/ interests?
Running(!) and keeping fit mainly which is proving difficult at the moment.   But I like reading and people interest me a great deal.

How many words per minute can you type?
When I took RSA II typing almost 30 years ago (my god I'm ancient!) my speed then was over 60 words a minute.  I haven't been tested since.

30 years is a long time, at your age your joints may not be as supple. I want you to take the test again. Your minute starts now!
108 words per minute...the years have been kind!

What is the best thing about your job?
I never know what's going to happen from one day to the next!

What is the worst thing about your job?
Ditto

And finally the question on everybody's lips... Can you type without looking at the keyboard?
Yes and without  thinking too some days!  After over 30 years of typing my fingers know a keyboard pretty well.
