Just got out of a meeting that made me feel a little more "human" again.
It helps to be reminded that you're not the *most* incompetent beastie in the universe.
Middle-of-the-pack incompetent, maybe. Grazing the leaders' circle only on super bad days.
But there truly is little better salve to feeling terrible about yourself than to be reminded that you can still be helpful to others, just as awful as you are.
