I work in IT. So the lie is I know what I am doing, when all I do is google the error code and hope for stack overflow has an answer.
Knowing to Google the error code then making the error code stop is knowing how to do your job. That’s my job as well so I wish you all the luck in the world.
That’s not a lie, that’s standard operating procedure.
In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.
I started off wondering how they hadn’t figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I’ve started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.
So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what’s going on.
My programs think they are running on windows. They are running in proton.
There’s this lie I keep telling myself that everything will be okay.
My family still thinks they’re calling me by my name. I changed the fuck out of that tragedeigh years ago.

Why do you keep the lie?

I hope you find a day to share yourself with your friends and family and that their response is better than you expect.
Yes.
Anyone who says otherwise is (ironically) lying.
That’s why privacy laws are so important and why the old “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you shouldn’t care about your data being collected by literally everyone” argument is bullshit. Because it’s not about breaking the law, or lying about some big secret. It’s about presenting to the world the you that you want to present to the world.
The most basic fundamental right is to be seen as we want to be seen.
Everyone…and I mean EVERYONE…has something that, if it were public, would change the way that others look at them. Maybe for the good, maybe for the worse. It doesn’t matter. It could be that you’re into midget porn. It could be that you anonymously donate a quarter of your paycheque to charity and you want it to remain anonymous for whatever reason. The point is, THAT IS YOUR RIGHT to keep that to yourself.
We get to show the world who we want them to see, either good or bad. And we all do it.
So yes, to circle back around. Anyone who says that they don’t actively have any lies is lying.
I dunno. I guess the question is if I would ever meet anyone I told a lie to ever again. That’s definitely not happening, so I guess I’m not maintaining them anymore.
I honestly forget who at this point, but I think a few people still believe that I met my wife during a brief educational stay in her home state, when in fact it was online and years later.
