It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

I came back from deployment 2kg heavier than when I went, but my jeans are so much looser around my waist! I have to take the belt in waaay too many notches and fold up the waist - it's uncomfortable and embarrassing! WTF happened?

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I don't know how to do my job...Or even what my job is! Or whether I'm doing it right in the first place...
This is upsetting because I was quite frighteningly competent at my erstwhile job. But no, I had to go and take up a challenge, didn't I? And also because I keep on getting introduced to some very senior Civil Servants, who are in charge of projects on a national scale, who seem to have this nasty habit of making very sure I know that they will remember my name for future reference... It's going to come in very handy if I ever want to get promoted, but at the moment it's scaring the living daylights out of me...
And soon they're going to start asking me stuff, like questions on nationally important stuff that they need the answers to straight away, and I don't even know wtf it is that I'm supposed to be doing! I'm suddenly feeling like a very small fish in an extremely large pool... One that happens to be filled with sharks...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Fool!!!
It is only because you are new and can't see through the facade that everyone uses to cover their own incompetence. Once you get used to everyone, you will see they are full of shit. I find admitting that you are new and inexperienced and then blaming your shortcomings on senior people for not providing adequate training works well

That would work brilliantly but for the fact that there are only five of us in the country doing this job. And two of us only started just over a week ago... So the others really don't have time to train us whilst they're picking up the slack. The bright side is that at least I'm not in it entirely alone. I've even managed to find myself a personal project... which, admittedly, is only to get everyone else to learn how to fucking spell things correctly! So that provides me with a certain amount of personal amusement amongst the confusion... Which is a plus.
I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually, I suppose. But at the moment I spend most of my day terrified that I'm going to screw up in some arcane manner that I don't even understand...
And some people say that a change is as good as a rest.

There's a decent chance of it, yeah. The day I get an email saying someone else in the college has been found to have swine flu, I develop a bad cough, a runny nose and a fever, with the occasional sneeze thrown in. Could be a coincidence I guess...but I'm dubious.
