Promoted above my competency level!
« on: October 15, 2021, 12:48:34 PM »
I know I can't be a Newby forever but my status as SOHC Master seems a tad OTT - well above my station in life and my actual capabilities - is there not a handle for a second year semi-qualified apprentice? . :o :o :o

That happened to me too. I’d classify myself as “ unconsciously incompetent, but an excellent drinker”.

Me too, I would class myself as semi-proficient in what I do and know - we had a saying in the army 'Senior Officers were promoted to the point of incompetence'.......... ???

Not 100% certain but I think for medical research you actually have to be 100% dead.
