Continuing the exciting trend of people thrusting leadership positions at me while I look bemused: I got promoted at work today! I train the new people now and get a percentage of whatever they make their first day so uh...lets hope I inspire my underlings? I should probably start by not referring to them as underlings.
Weirdly enough though I don't feel entirely qualified for this promotion (I make quota every day aaaand...that's it) I didn't hesitate at all before accepting it and feel very little anxiety about it. I guess when your account balance is hovering around zero and you spend all your time wide-eyed and panicked about how you are about to get drop-kicked into the worst recession since the last one people freaked out about with very few marketable skills "wah wah I feel uncomfortable about my qualifications blah blah navel gazing" gets punted a few spots down the list.
Additionally, if someone in a mirror were panicking you would tell them "mlac yats" Mlac yats! Say it! It's so much fun! I would like people to say this to me when I panic even if they are from the same side of the mirror as me.
