OK, this is one way to brighten my morning: [link]

A North Carolina politician goes on the Daily Show, which airs his comments. Which are horrendously racist. Politician loses his job. This is how the system is supposed to work: pity it takes a comedy show to do it...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I saw the interview and I was astounded that the guy really didn't care less what he said on air.

Yay Suzi. So, HUGE raise, right?

We are working on bumping me up to the next job code level. Which will be my second bump in the 5 years since I took this job. I'm hoping more $ come with it.

Messages like that both help combat imposters syndrome and, at the same time, make me feel like an imposter. Stoooopid brain.

Isn't that weird? I know exactly what you're talking about.

And doesn't your work have any Philly offices?!

I wish Amy. Well, I think we do, but I don't work with anyone there. My other big project is out of Cape Cod - I'm still trying to convince them I'm need to travel there.

Oooh, Cape Cod! Where ... my evil sister-in-law lives. Oh well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They are good. And whole grain, but I am trying to think up ways to a) halve the recipe and b) make it wholier. I think I've got room to experiment next time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

imposter syndrome is a PITA, but you know what? I get along much better with people who experience it than the overconfident assholes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of the most impressive women I've ever known came out with this book recently, and I'm sure it's worth a read. I should get it myself!
