busybusy... lots of crappy work to get finished before i take off for the island friday morning. add to that a doctor's appointment monday, a lab appointment this morning and a dentist appointment tomorrow, the hours i have left to complete all this crap are dwindling. oh yeah, and i don't want to do any of it now that i have a happy-full belly after lunch at the thai place.
i was thinking this morning (while sitting in traffic on the cut because i left later than my normal 6:45 due to the aforementioned lab appointment) about all the skills i have which i don't actually consider skills. there are a lot of things i do every day which many people can't do and i take them all for granted. here's my list:
- drive a car.
- touch-type.
- read.
- write.
- cook/bake.
- use/build/understand a computer.
- find the north star.
- braid.
- iron/laundry.
- program a vcr.
- crochet.
- say "hello" and "yes/no" in five or six languages.
- write html.
- use a card catalogue.
- sew simple patterns.
- paint walls/objects.
- change the sparkplugs and oil & filter in my car.
- dial a phone in the dark.
- get up, showered, dressed and make peanut butter toast all with my eyes closed.
- ride a bicycle (although it's been a long while).
- sign the alphabet excluding f and p thru t.
what are your skills?
excluding the things on your list that i can also do, i can ...
... draw realistically.
... drive a stick shift.
... read and write extraordinarily fast.
... pick up languages (including programming languages) quickly.
... wake up in the middle of the night and guess what time it is within five minutes, almost every single time.
... remember my dreams (which are always in color).
... pick things up with my toes (my boyfriend calls me a monkey).
... remember everybodys' birthdays after they've only told me once.
... juggle.
... knit complicated things like socks and sweaters.
... find just about anything on the internet, quickly.
