Failing upwards?

[emony]

I wonder if my work colleagues are ever going to realise that when they ask me to make a decision on something, while appearing to be listening to them, my eyes have actually glazed over, my mind is elsewhere, and when they finish speaking I universally nod and say, "yes, you're right. That sounds fine," with little or no idea what they've actually said.

Oh god I hope not. There would be no hope for someone like me if I couldn't just smile and nod.

I do that too.
