I was just hired on to my first major accounting role as a controller for a small business, and I'm having major imposter syndrome right now. Does anybody else run into it, and if so how do you get past it when it hits?

Going on reality tv is like the most thingy thing ever.

Right? I told my wife and she said "Is that the guy that was mad at you for weeks because you voted against him in Big Brother? Sounds about right."

Yeah it is the most thingy thing ever

I also can't get English

Master here's a random story I remembered from Reddit.

"This is a story from one of my favorite authors, Neil Gaiman:

Some years ago, I was lucky enough invited to a gathering of great and good people: artists and scientists, writers and discoverers of things. And I felt that at any moment they would realise that I didn’t qualify to be there, among these people who had really done things.

On my second or third night there, I was standing at the back of the hall, while a musical entertainment happened, and I started talking to a very nice, polite, elderly gentleman about several things, including our shared first name*. And then he pointed to the hall of people, and said words to the effect of, “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here? They’ve made amazing things. I just went where I was sent.”

And I said, “Yes. But you were the first man on the moon. I think that counts for something.”

And I felt a bit better. Because if Neil Armstrong felt like an imposter, maybe everyone did. Maybe there weren’t any grown-ups, only people who had worked hard and also got lucky and were slightly out of their depth, all of us doing the best job we could, which is all we can really hope for."

Alright I got it working. Thingy is a good looking guy IMO.

I’ve never quite clicked with Neil Gaiman/his books, but he gets an awful lot of credit for that story.

Thanks man, that's a good story.

Wicked - gotta ask him on twitter if it's true.

I really dig his stories.

i've seen flashes of greatness from neil gaiman, but never really got into his stuff either.

i mean like a paragraph or two will be great, but the whole book will be kinda boring.

I really like stardust the movie

Stardust book is also great.

I prefer the original Stardust (dust that comes from stars)

hey can someone please remind me of the hilariously embarrassing stupid thing i did in a ww game? i can't remember what it was.

I was fond of Stardust the casino. Some of Swingers takes place there, and a few other movies too.

Which one are we supposed to remember?

You signed up?

Was it Risk? Because Risk was an incredible ****show

I think Risk was where everyone said "filthy, don't shoot this guy, everyone who shoots him dies", filthy went "yolo imma shoot him" and died.

oh I looked it up and it's better than that

axel is an outed wolf lolcatting in thread because everyone who attacks him dies

and filthy managed to quotefail in the attack post as well which led to everyone else quotefailing for the next few pages

solid

Lol yup, thought it was Risk. Holy **** was that a fun game.

Lol, invading his own wolfbro who has a poison condition. Goddamn is that funny.

oh yeah! risk! thanks. i totally forgot the particulars. even when i read this just now, i didnt realize i was a wolf too til the end
