Senior, Me!
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007 04:51 pmI’m not saying that I’m bored or anything (I’m bored), but I just did one of my periodic google searches for myself, just to see what I’m up to in the world of the wide web.
Most of the hits are horribly out of date and the majority are work related and boring. It must be the name; even other people with the same name seem to appear as themselves on the internet only in connection with boring items.
I did, however, find myself quoted on a tenants’ website (work-related again, yawn), referred to and misquoted as a senior civil servant. Well, that’s news to me, as I look at my decidedly junior civil servant salary. But if it says so on the web, so mote1 it be. I need now to wander off, armed with that evidence and see if it gets me anywhere. My current expectation is that that quote and £2.50 will get me a coffee in Starbucks.
1This quote comes with thanks to Marvel’s Stan Lee. At lunchtime I was browsing a heap of old Fantastic Four covers on the web and all that hyperbole came flooding back to me. Excelsior!
