Faking It

[foxgrrl]

I don't really think that I'm a good photographer, and that I'm just pretending to be a good one by taking awesome looking pictures.

I don't really think that I'm a good hacker, and that I'm just pretending to be a good one by writing 0-day remote root exploits.

Funny, I felt like that before I came into work today....actually, I feel like that almost every day before I come into work strangely enough. I often flashback to this scene from the movie "Conceiving Ada" where Ada keeps banging herself in the head with her hand repeating "I need to learn more...I've got to learn more..."

It's even worse since I moved to the NOC and started training as a Sys Admin. I sit there some nights and wonder how in the world I ended up here and what happens if I screw up? Or worse yet what if I screw up and can't fix it? Screwing up isn't as bad as screwing up and not being able to fix it. Then I feel like I'm overcompensating sometimes because I am the only woman in this department. Bleh...I guess it has to end somewhere, but for what it's worth I don't think you're faking it.
