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.

How does one cross one eye? What is it crossing with, if not the other eye?

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

I think I see the DUmmies's problem....they're learning
impaired.....stupid.

What a reason to start a thread! Jeezus!
We already knew you were worthless!

It's another way to post a "Woe is me, I lost my job and don't know what to do" thread.

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?
Those forks made me :rotf:

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.

How does one cross one eye? What is it crossing with, if not the other eye?
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".
