Buffistas

Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Argh, shrift. You need to escape that place soon.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I don't want to be doing this but I'm decent at it though I like the relationship management aspect better than the sales. The major fleet association just named me the vice-chair for the government affairs committee, which is considered a national leadership post, and I'm looking around saying "Me?" Huge case of imposter syndrome.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Plei, the San Remo near Fisherman's Wharf is pretty good, from what I hear.

Maria, I think a large part of my problem is a mismatch between what I like doing and what people want me to do. When I have to do too much client-facing work, I want to flip tables. I don't have the temperament for it.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Ha ha, neither do I. I'm not overwhelmed by impostor syndrome as much as I used to be. It mostly comes up when I try to think about what I want to do next.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I plan on staying where I am, work-wise, as long as I can. If not this lab, then at least the same agency.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I've given up on the idea of "when I grow up". Not happening.

I'm 54, if I'm not grown up now, I'll never be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A friend of mine posted on Facebook: "I am the poster child for impostor syndrome," she said, secretly believing she didn't deserve to be the poster child for anything.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If nothing else, that NYT article took like ten paragraphs to actually define FOMO. That can't be good journalism.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I kind of feel as though I'm having my retirement first. Does that mean I'll be crazy-busy when I'm sixty? Watch this space. Funny, that article was kindof TL:DR, but I also think it conflated two things(Or at least, memes like that dumb dress rarely factor into my FOMO, which I thought meant the sad that you get when your wall has more fun than you.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Congrats on making it through the second round. Do you know when you can expect to learn more?

Thank you! I kinda forgot to ask when I'd hear, but this was the final round so I expect I'll know one way or the other pretty soon.

And to you too, good luck and break a leg and GO YOU. I want you to land something you'll love soon.
