oh right, i'm smart.

i went to "security camp" because it was free and looked like a chance to be technical and maybe network with folks and also because i knew one of the guys presenting and he's interesting and informative and smart.

and it was really quite nice to be in a situation dealing with technical people interacting all technically and getting to remember "oh, right, all that stuff about 'world class' and 'expert troubleshooting skills' and such that i put on cover letters isn't just idle boasting."

Go you! I often feel like a piker, myself, but occasionally when I interact with other folks, I actually feel like I know what the hell I'm talking about, and it is a really good feeling..

This is why I love geeking about cooking. Because, well, I hang out with brilliant computer experts who either make 75K/year with no college degree or have Masters, and I'm a little secretary. But I *do* know how to cook and how to talk about it.

Oh, and you're brilliant, btw. :)

It's very cool that you got that feelin' back. You do *rock*.
