Recently I was informed at my job that I'm now a subject matter expert. While there are things I do know well, in general I think it's a tough situation when you tell someone else they're the person who knows the most now. It almost feels like you're being set up to take the blame?




Panel One: A coworker approaches Ian who is sitting at his cubicle.
Coworker (looking at his phone) - Excuse me…Ian? I got an issue that only you can help with.
Ian (looking stern) - Whoa, hold up there! Just what do you think I look like?
Panel Two: Same scene.
Coworker (appearing annoyed)- Uh…a forty something who overslept, needs to stop using coupons for a haircut…
…and hastily got dressed at the last minute?
Ian looks nonplussed.
Panel Three: Same scene.
Ian (responding sternly) - … Yeah… well…
…what about any of that makes you think I have any answers?
