Yeah, I'm cool ... totally cool

I enjoyed today. I did a lot of talking and I think most of it was useful. I’m feeling ill (sore throat and general fuckedupedness), so I can’t be 100% sure I’m reading the situation right. But in the universe inside my brain it was all good. Yay inside universe.

Back when I was a Team Leader in the finance industry (1,000 years ago), sometimes my new staff would furtively inquire how I thought they were going. Most times I blurted out “You’re going great!” which they were, and “I’d let you know if you weren’t” which I would’ve. But I remember being puzzled that they were so worried. That joke’s on me now. What I’d give for a rating from ten every time I open my mouth. It turns out I’m the neediest fucking trainee in the world. I hope the irony amuses some of you.

Aside from this characteristic self-consciousness (OMFG, no-one laughed at that magnificent witticism – I am a TOTL LOSR!), I think I’m also in a weird situation professionally. There are currently four jobs and four people happily doing those four jobs. There are also three of us trainees. TRAINEES FOR WHAT? you might ask. This is what I’m asking. In my inside universe. Yay inside universe. I like your answers.

And sorry about the split infinitives. Stupid writing.
