Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I realize this may not qualify as dull enough for this community. I think most people might be likely to consider my job and my team in my department to be extremely dull though so maybe this does work. Also, I am extremely dull, because I have virtually no friends and no one to tell about this and I really feel the need to tell someone because I’m absolutely killing it, nothing like this has ever happened to me before, and I’m very proud of myself, and I never thought I would get this far in life.

Keep killing it until we have to kick you out of the dull club.

There are days when being good at your job is a veritable super power.

Continue to crush it.

Honestly, there’s not a lot of people who can effectively orchestrate the interconnections between data architects, file ingestion specialists, and software engineers, especially when a third of them LOVE shouting over whoever is talking because their point is much more vital for everyone to hear before the other person finishes. Oh, and then communicate an understandable overall client status to the client success team. So it does often feel like quite an accomplishment when I can eek some order and a positive outcome out of that chaos.

Project Manager, I assume? A good PM is worth their weight in gold.

Senior Business Analyst, but the overlap between roles on my team is too great to really differentiate.
