Шеймас Макспорран очень занятой человек. Ему 60 лет, и он работает в тринадцати местах/у него тринадцать профессий. Он почтальон, полицейский, пожарный, таксист, водитель школьного автобуса, лодочник, работник скорой бухгалтер, бензозаправщик, бармен и гробовщик (сотрудник похоронного бюро). Кроме того, у него и его жены Маргарет есть магазин и небольшая гостиница.
Шеймас живет и работает на острове Гига на западе Шотландии. На Гиге живет всего 120 человек, но летом ежедневно на лодках приезжают 150 туристов.
Каждый будний день Шеймас встает в 6 утра и готовит завтрак для гостей отеля. В 8.00 он отвозит детей острова в школу. В 9.00 он забирает почту с лодки и доставляет ее во все дома на острове. Он также доставляет пиво в единственный паб на острове. Затем он Маргарет в магазине.
Он говорит: «Маргарет тоже нравится быть занятой. У нас никогда не бывает отпуска, и мы не любим смотреть телевизор. По вечерам Маргарет готовит ужин, а я занимаюсь счетами (веду учёт доходам и расходам). В 10.00 мы выпиваем по бокалу вина, а затем ложимся спать. Возможно, наша жизнь не очень захватывающая, но нам она нравится.
