I only smoke about once every few months, but because it becomes more rare, people think I know a lot about it. I don't.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/puppeteering.pngI was once offered a job in a world-travelling puppet troupe, after only one audition. I had that much talent and potential. My parents made me turn down the job, and my puppeteering skills have been dormant ever since.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/latin.pngI took four years of it. It mostly comes in handy with vocabulary (I guess mine's pretty decent), and in coming up with titles to blog posts.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ms-office1.pngOr any piece of business software, really, but I'm already very familiar with the Office Suite. This is probably my most useful skill in the business world. I love making comprehensive Excel spreadsheets with array formulas. But there are also people with serious training in these programs that could do much more with them and in a much shorter amount of time.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ms-office.pngMS Officehttps://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/etiquette.pngBy this, I mean the whole range of "proper" civilized behavior in this culture, from setting the salad fork to the correct side of the dinner fork, to holding doors open for women and the elderly. But please don't be confused; I'm still a jerk.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/presenting.pngIt's kind of a combination of the "Acting" skill and the "Party-Planning" skill. I've noticed that whenever there's a whole lot of pressure on myself (not shared by anyone else) to present (be it a musical performance, business presentation, etc.), it always seems to go very well. It's hard to recreate that kind of pressure, though.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/juggling.pngYeah, I can juggle. Used to be able to do four balls at once, but now I'd probably have trouble with two balls and a pin. Can still pass, though.https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/party-planning.pngThis seems like something I would be really bad at doing, and I would have thought so, too. The past couple of years, however, I've noticed that I have a knack for getting people together in situations where everyone has a pretty good time. A strange skill for me to have, since I really don't like parties.2012-06-21T20:00:13+00:00monthlyhttps://thefatalistmarksman.com/2012/06/17/etched-in-tone/https://thefatalistmarksman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sparrow.png"Basically, I'm saying you guys are worth about the same as a duck.
