Sort of, in a sense. Really, I am going to continue posting as if this were some perverse mutation of a journal, attempting to make sense of the things around me.
Moving on. There is nothing more destructive to someone's confidence than making them look stupid. And worse than that, is making them look stupid in front of the customer. I mean, I know that I am no genius when it comes to computers, but that is part of the illusion of the damn job. I need to appear to know what is going on to insure that they feel comfortable doing changes to their precious computer to get shit working. Sure, I might not have that customer again, but know I look dumb in their eyes. All we have are the lies we tell ourselves, and now that particular lie of me being good at my job has dissolved.
Worse yet is you are my quasi-friend, so I want to say something, but I don't know how to say it. You've destroyed a piece of my self confidence, and that really blows. That stuff isn't easy to come by.
