Cost-Benefit Analysis

I'm not convinced I have a soul but if someone offered to buy it, I have a few things that would be included in the purchase price.

Top of the list would be that my German was easy to understand and impossible to ignore.  For example if I said "I don't know enough about this subject to offer a worthwhile opinion and it's senseless to keep asking me questions. I've inherited this subject and all I have to go on is an iffy E-Mail that mentions other things I know nothing about." People would understand and not keep asking me questions that it's obvious that I CAN'T answer.

This might not seem like a Big Thing to you.  But is is to me.  My SlowLittleRecovery is based on achieving small, everyday things - things that you probably never think about;  staying calm, recognising panic & still staying calm, trying to think clearly despite a non-stop barrage of negative comments from my internal critic, amongst many others.  And when you're on the receiving end of a lot of questions that you CAN'T answer, you better believe that every question hits your self-confidence like a sledgehammer.

And so Herr Mephistopheles, maybe we can make a deal...
