I used to be afraid to do it, but I now realize no one expects me to know everything, and they appreciate being asked, because it means I'm trying to learn and get better at the job. It is in everyone's best interest that you learn everything you can!
I don't know, actually, Marty. I think it's one of those "paper tigers" which just seem to be scary. I expect myself to come up with "perfect" questions and provide some "perfect progress" on my project. Otherwise I am somewhat ashamed to bother them. I think I am afraid they will says "And that's all you've managed to accomplish?"
Silly, I know.
