@cdavies heck yeah

@Gina This is a huge problem people who barely sratched the surface think they can and do teach others without any self-awareness

@Gina I'd definitely team up with you if the opportunity was provided

@Gina story of my life. Imposter syndrome and all. Let's team up!

@Gina I think that's an excellent idea and there would be a market out there. You have experience of large deployments and the real life problems companies (currently deeply embedded in Microsoft Office) might face and addressing their concerns.

This is a very different proposition from persuading Uncle Harry to write a letter using Libreoffice

@Gina
Chica, with your experience and organizational skills, I think you can accomplish just about anything you want.

@Gina I remember our accountants moving us over to Xero, then sitting down with my partner to show her how to use it (I try to stay out of the accounts myself!), and after about a 30 minute session, genuinely asking her if she'd be open to them sending other clients in for her to teach because she clearly knows what she's doing now

@Gina If you've never seen this skit of Adam Driver playing an oil baron at career day, it resonates with the theme of these posts.

@superuserdo @Gina it’s Dutch, which means they are talking about cheese and libreoffice

@Gina you can do it from a van in southern Europe.
