I’ll never not be mystified that people think I know things.

I mean, I probably know things, but I’m also pretty sure I’m mostly guessing. But people give me money to guess? That’s pretty sweet.

I’m either confident and dumb, or confident and secretly smart.

Does anyone truly know anything?

Yes.

Frida knows there’s something going on.

I feel that. The key is if you fake it well enough and things turn out okay, then you’re good as gold.

I know enough to know that I don’t know much. That doesn’t stop people thinking that I do know everything and constantly asking me questions about things I know nothing about. Maybe it’s because I admit when I don't know something but can usually find the answer anyway ?

I don’t know...

The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go!

I need to watch that movie again.

At least 70% of what I do or say consists of “winging it”.

100% of everything I say is winging it.

The more you know, the more you don’t know.

If you know you don’t know a lot, you do know  a lot.

If it’s work related there’s a nonzero chance they are asking in case something goes wrong they can just shift the blame and say “well, I asked Honeybunchesofgoats and he said to do it.”

People keep telling me that they think that I’m smart. Boy, do I have them fooled...

I guess the key to being smart is the willingness to admit that you know nothing. With that mindset you can go into a situation without any preconceived ideas and a mind that’s open to learning. It may sound harsh, but I believe that if you’re not learning, you’re dying. And I’m too inquisitive an idiot to drop dead  right now...

I’m not particularly smart , but my specialty in the office is something that nobody else has experience with , so they all think I’m some kind of techno genius.
