Incompetence

Apparently I’m a website coordinator for the GUCU website. Theoretically this shouldn’t be news to me, I vaguely remember being told this, possibly even volunteering for it much to my amusement about a year or so ago. I find it even more amusing that I have only just discovered this because I found out when, for the first time in a year I actually posted on the forum (I left after the Fingers, Andy and Qwibble clique were pushed off their/our ranting turf many many moons ago, to be replaced by… well never mind.) I find this new/old identity of mine an entertaining prospect given that I am probably the only person to ever fail the uni IT Basic Competency test - A testament to why you shouldn’t assume you’ve attached the right file while engrossed in My Name is Earl.

Finding myself in a position of authority for which I am entirely incompetent fills me with one of those elatory tingly feelings. The resulting empowerment has given me the delusion that my opinions, thoughts and considerations are of some sort of importance. You might argue that I have always had this type of empowerment but there are rare times of clarity when I see the truth of it and have console myself with a long rambling daydream or simply a look in the mirror. This time however I’ve decided to start a blog because of the lingering effects of my irrelevant authoritarian position insist on placating the primal human desire for even our most inane thoughts to be heard.
