yeah

i'm going to talk about something different:

the modern jackass -
This American Life last weekend has an episode about what happens when you know just a little about something, but feel qualified to extrapolate an explanation to the questioner.

i'm going to be looking out for this from now on... whether it be me being a modern jackass or someone else.. and when i spot it i'll enjoy myself. in the meanwhile i am expected up on the roof to continue some scraping of moss off the roof.

while i'm gone feel free to discuss.

Fair enough

a little prodding will cause me to post.

i only have 6 minutes right now, but if i don't do it now it'll be awhile.

here's my topic: i got a comment today at work that made me think. the context was this:
I was explaining to a couple of team leaders tasked with running a workshop how we set targets and that they don't have to be afraid of not having everything figured out all the way by the time of the workshop. that they should not be afraid to report that what they thought they were going to look at didn't exist, but it will now that we know we should be looking at it...
i was interrupted in my ramble that it appeared to one of them that the vast majority of my job seemed to be making people in their situation feel better about it.

at the time i just said something along the lines of "yes, i suppose it does seem that way..." and resumed my stream of reassurances and guidance.

however.. now that i've driven home and had some time to think about it.. i'm not sure what to think about it. does it sound to anyone like i come off as... well, what do i sound like?
