General / Off-Topic What are your skills?

[Deleted member 110222]

Thought I'd do a thread that's a little different, and hopefully fun.

What skills do you have? By that, I mean what are you good at doing?

I'll start with myself. I've got a lot of experience in animal care, specifically, common farm animals such as sheep, goats, and horses. Particularly horses.

I started at the age of 15, with my Year 10 work experience assignment. Most of the other kids went to local business, or perhaps their old primary schools. Not me! I went to a stable, now sadly gone, and it led to the biggest adventure of my life.

For about two years, until the place was closed, I found myself handling the above mentioned animals, as well as ducks, chickens and guinea pigs.

In that time I learnt that I have a natural affinity with horses. The owner oft' told me that she was shocked over how well I could control a red-blooded stallion despite him losing his mind over trying to get to the mares. His name was Sixpence. I really miss that little guy. Shetland Pony, my favourite breed.

Believe it or not I've never ridden. I just love looking after horses.

Sadly it's been years since I last had a chance to be with them. I hope one day to get another chance, because this is the thing I know I was meant to do.

I can p*ss off my wife in record time.

I'm not bad to do the dishes quickly and well




Every morning at 7 o'clock and 7/7 and 365/365, since 13 years, I do the dishes

My skill is laughing at great quotes like these (yours too Jenner).

I do surf an SCUBA dive and I've been trying to teach myself to juggle (seriously, I have) for ages.

 

[EUS]

I tried to juggle once.
Three dinner plates straight out of the dishwasher.
My kids watching.
Only broke one.
They don't let me live it down.
But that's one of the things dads are for, to make kids laugh.

 

[Arry]

Getting to the point.
Cutting to the quick.
Showing a better way.
Upsetting people.

Honestly I think the lack of work opportunity for me is a big reason I have some pretty psychotic episodes.

I am genuinely terrified that I'm never going to get the experience I had eight years ago ever again.

What makes that so daunting is that I have nothing else. Like I've said before, I have zero social skills. Jobs with humans are doomed to end badly for me.

Those days are over here.

Oh yeah... I troll my daughter something fierce. She just gives an audible sigh and rolls her eyes. She loves it, though.

If you had zero you wouldn't be able to even carry on a conversation on this forum. Don't be so hard on yourself.

From the night before?

I must confess to a bit of a dishwashing fetish myself, but I'm a strict clean as you go type.

I don't think I can survive on Internet alone.

The problem is that I don't know how to function outside the Internet.

Frankly I just want to be normal. But some twisted turn of fate and a dodgy gene put an end to that.

 

[Robin of Spiritwood]

I can fry plantains.

I've been buying paper plates/bowls and plastic cutlery. It took a while to get the wife to agree with the wastefulness, but when she saw the savings in housework, she saw the light.

When I take the trash out, the dishes are done.
