What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?

I'm a linguistic thinker, an interpersonal thinker, and an intrapersonal thinker, according to this quiz on BBCi (as seen on wimborne's journal).

Interesting to see the careers they suggest for people who think in these ways, and to note that at no point do they say "trained monkey shoving bits of HTML around".

That's my job and I love it. And I think it belongs in the Linguistics section. But maybe I've trotted out Why Classics Helps You Webdesign in one interview too many.

No, no, I wasn't being derogatory about web design. I really was talking about shoving bits of HTML around. Not web designing: moving bits of HTML from one place in a file to another. Eventually turning crap HTML into crap SGML. This is my job at the moment, and I hate it. It is to web design what being a brickie is to architecture.

I quit my job so that I could carry on doing the more boring bits of the same job at a slightly higher (pro rata) wage but without the benefits (a pension plan, and a free bus into town on Thursdays). This was not quite what I intended.

Auf-webdesign, pet.
