rattling around in my brain
Jan. 14th, 2014 02:19 pm- I have a Sooper Sekrit Cunning and Devious plan! I want to tell the world!
- But then it won't be Sooper Sekrit any more.
- So? Why does it have to be Sooper Sekrit? It's cunning and devious and awesome!
- Because you don't want to get everyone's hopes up (yours included) only to find that the plan won't work.
- But I've been in touch with the local IT guys and three of them have already responded with interest and suggestions! What more do I want?
- Someone to say "Yes, this is a good idea, we can help you with it." What you don't want is someone saying "that's a silly idea" or -- worse yet -- someone's already done it.
- But if someone had already done it, I would've known about it. Trust me, I would've found out.
- *darkly* OK, maybe no one's done it. But you know what they could come back and say? "sure, it's a great idea -- but why on earth are you the person to do it?"
- Because I've been setting myself up for this for more than 2/3 of my life! I started when I was 10! I do this in my spare time for fun! I have a line on my CV that says other people think I'm competent to do this!
- *snrk*
- Besides, I've got a team already! I don't be stacking the beebees alone! And they all have such faith in me, and in the Cunning and Devious plan. They all assume that it's going to work!
- Yes, actually, it probably will. But don't get your hopes up, wait a few more days before you spill the beans. Keep it Sooper Sekrit for awhile yet, have patience.
- *sulkily* Fine, fine.
