Dichotomy...

*phew* I just got off the phone with a Senior Chief. I hate using the phone in general, but especially when I have to field a call from an angry submariner. Fortunately for me, I could answer all of his questions satisfactorily and I surprised even myself by being able to explain the signal processing he was asking about. Go me! He had called Fred this morning with a question, and Fred wanted backup before he called him back. After 30 seconds of trying to answer Fred's questions about the Senior Chief's questions, I finally just made him hand over the phone and let me handle it. I think mostly I'm terrified of just the title Senior Chief since that's what Latham was when he left the Navy, and he's probably the scariest, most intimidating man I know. But it all worked out and I feel pretty proud of myself right now. =)
