Sorry, I can't not be a pedantHow can you be an Ambassador TO the UK and TO some friendly foreign power?
What have Nirvana got to do with Garage? I don't remember Craig David guesting for any of their chart-topping hits?
And lastly, you'll never be a legendary singer-songwriter with that attitude.

In his defence, it reads 'being an Ambassador FOR the UK to some friendly foreign power'Unless he's ninja'd it.

NopeI can assure you I am fine, It's not really my "realistic dream" job, It's just that if I'd blurted out what was I could have had some serious hate come my way.

money isn't everythingI get paid well and yet it still doesn't make the work worthwhile.
Don't make the mistake that loads of people make and think that with enough money you won't mind what the actual work entails. You'd be much better off finding out what the job actually means day to day and making your decision based on that.

I went back to my old primary school, it was the last one my Mum taught in before she diedIt was very surreal seeing the same corridors 7 years later, they're tiny!
Plus, the teacher who was in charge of the work experience had taught me as a child, and she was still a complete bitch, a fact I made clear to her.

you being a nonce is nothing to joke about.I cannot overstate how important it is to find something you enjoy.
on paper, my job should be great. It's something I'm interested in and good at, but day to day it's basically long periods of boredom interspersed with short bursts of stress and panic.

Man, have you not heard Lisa Maffia's version of "Pennyroyal Tea?"Awesome. But I think he thinks he means "Garage Rock" but since Nirvana have about as much to do with Garage rock as I do to competition needlework, he's talking shit. Again.
