What Skill Sets You Apart From Everyone Else?
   
I have come to realize, at the age of 48, that I have no skills whatsoever, except, perhaps, the skill of asking inane rhetorical questions.

That you're 48 and have no marketable skills is fairly telling.

1. I can calm someone down from an anxiety attack/hyper ventalation
   
faster than anyone I know. Plus I am very good at getting people to go to the hospital (when they need to, but don't want to).

5. I have many skills that do not interest employers
   
For instance: Wise assness. Dark humor. And I'm psychic....or is it psycho, I can't remember which.

This shouldn't come as any great surprise to the long term reader.

11. You mean like being able to fart the alphabet?
   
I can't do that, but it would set me apart.

Good to see you're staying classy.

15. I'm pretty useless.
   
I can read music, roll my tongue and cross one eye at a time. I get along very well with cats. Other than that...

16. I can throw a perfect Yahtzee whenever I need one. nt

I'm trying to figure out which of the pair of you is most useless.

Isn't that what people make fun of Paris Hilton for, having a "lazy eye"?

With those stellar skill sets, I'm not surprised they lost their job.   :thatsright:

Let's see, I give a shit about my job and other people.  That alone would make me unique at the DUmp.

Get a load of Graywarrior....she's brutally honest.  What a strange old bird.  Didn't she contemplate counseling as a career?  Oh that's right, she opted for Art Education, right?

As incredible as it sounds, the greywarriorette primitive has been a student for circa 40 years now.

She's found some way of manipulating things so as to get student loans in perpetuity.

It's crossing the vision lines, not the eye.  I can do it with each eye independent of the other.  It is a useful talent, too.  It enables me to appear crazed and psychotic when needed.  Nothing says "Crazy" like a wild unfocused eye.

I can turn my left eye inwards while my right eye stays looking forward. ....but only a DUmbass would consider that a "skill".
