This summer, I'll get a job in Cardiff as a call centre op again. I liked doing that, I used to enjoy using a different accent for each caller. Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Indian

Christ, what a difference a year makes!

I guess it depends on who you are. A year ago I posted this:

Last year I wrote:I'm at uni, originally with the desire to be an electronic engineer, now with the desire to be a primary school teacher.

To make up some more money in the mean time, I'm a delivery driver for Domino's

A year on, my predicament is now pretty much the same, being:

"I'm training to be a primary school teacher, and still work at Domino's as a slightly more senior delivery driver & instore worker (shifts when I'm being the router or the oven-tender are nothing short of legend at 28118 Plymouth...)"

Yes, 'webmaster' really is wanky. It sounds like a title that a complete nerd would give themselves because they think it makes them sound a sci-fi hero. 'Web designer' seems fairly standard and descriptive to me though.

Yeah, I find it as nauseating as people who 'surf' the internet, or who use the term 'Information Super-Highway' (something particular cringworthy when Moira Stewart pronounced it as 'Infermayshun Sew-pur Highway' on BBC News).

Moira was clearly parodying her editor's ignorance
