Day 54 - Sometimes I know stuff

So far in my career I've made 3 dramatic changes that continually lands me at the bottom of the totum pole.  I usually get up to speed fairly quickly and that's the fun part.  I like learning new things.  It's not fun to continually be the rookie, but I do enjoy learning new things.  This job is a little challenging because it's not like anything I learned in school or any of the work I've done.  The work talk is like a foreign language.  Today I had a meeting to attend and I was the point on the project.  I brought back-up because I was nervous talking to these guys about the scope.  Well, turns out I didn't need the help.  They asked questions, I knew the answers, I provided more info, it looked like my info was sufficient, and I was adequately prepared.  It was such a relief to realize that I'm at a level where I can *maybe* start to hold my own.  Even if it is just catching back up with the rest of my peers. Somewhere, someday, my wide range of experience will prove invaluable.
