Does this count as showing off?

I just turned a manuscript in to my supervisor. He then asked if I was
comfortable with math, and when I said yes, he asked "up to what level?"
I told him pre-calc (I'd rather not deal with epsilon-delta proofs ever
again). He then introduced me to the head of the math team (the actual
editor for this MS being away this week), and told her I was comfortable
with math "Up to the dizzy heights." I noted that I didn't think
pre-calc was the dizzy heights, and she then took a couple of minutes to
discuss layout and formatting for this project. It's for Grade 8.

If my level of math is that impressive, I suspect I'll be here a while.

Rock.

I'd be even more enthusiastic if I weren't suffering from a brief spell of "Can I have that job instead of my own?"

It sounds good. I'm glad you found it.

Math is Hard

The reason the joke is funny is that, for most people, it's true.

Oh, cool. A job where they like you having a brain; I hope it goes on working out well for you.
