took an interesting angle here to convince people that it's okay -- in fact, it's a good thing -- to be completely incompetent at your job. What a relief. I thought I was doomed, but now I have hope, just like our fragile marine ecosystem that is teetering on the brink of catastrophic collapse has hope.

Now, that's some real job security.
