I basically have a meeting

in which I have to give the impression to our clients that I know what I am talking about. I don't. I don't understand the issues as they are too complex for me. I won't ever understand them properly, as I'm a bit duuuur.

Oh well. Nothing like being thrown in the deep end by negligent employers!
