Are You A Jack-of-All-Trades?

Published on May 9, 2005 By Death_By_Beebles In Misc

Sometimes it feels like I'm part of the old saying, "Jack-of-all-trades, master of none."

I can create a decent work of art.

I can write an award winning essay, but it's usually 2nd or 3rd place.

I can do resonably well with HTML and computer lingo, but I'm no computer wiz.

I can argue a common point well to a certain extent.

I can play a decent game of chess.

I'm smart enough to understand my calculus, but not good enough to get all A's.

I can get most of the Physics problems done, but I always have problems with double stars.

I can read just about anything, but Crime and Punishment is not one of those anythings.

The only thing that I feel truly gifted in is chemistry.

Do you feel like a Jack-of-all-trades? If you do, is there one thing you are truly gifted at?

Peace,

Beebes

Yeah, I'd say that phrase applies to me as I have a pretty broad range of interests and talents.

If you do, is there one thing you are truly gifted at?

Screwing up. I've raised it to an artform.

I can do a few things well, a lot of things half assed, and a lot of things not at all.

I can,

Build any kind of network. Wired, wireless, you name it!
Play six different instruments
Rebuild a Porsche engine
Cook
And be an overall pain in the ass.

I know that's more than one beebles, but i was on a roll :

I can do that pretty well.

Play six different instrumentsRebuild a Porsche engine

You have my admiration on playing six instruments. I myself can only play 4. And I've never seen a Porsche, much less it's engine

LIked your poem - I selected "Resume" for you - hope you enjoy

Ah, thank you. It seems some people do like what I write! I thoroughly enjoyed "Resume" as well. Good work.

Peace,

Well...what am I good at?

Well, I'm a good listener with fairly good negotiation and counseling skills.

I'm an amatuer expert (how's that for an oxymoron?) with animals.

I'm a decent writer of all things...if I want to write them, anyway.

I'm a pretty nice guy, but can be the worst pain in your ass if I wish to be.

I guess overall I'm a "people/animal person" I can get into the mind of almost anyone and anything.

Uh....I'm rather good at sciences....some I find tedious, but I usually don't have problems.

I'm talented in music to some extent...not a great singer, but a fairly good sax player.

I'm a so-so gamer....it depends on the game.

Okay, well...you asked for one, I gave you more

That should pretty much sum me up...if you think of anything else please feel free to boost my ego in anyway that you wish.

What am I good at.........humm...lets see......

Well even though I can't play 6 instruments I can play flute and french horn. I've taught myself to play the piano, but I'm not that good, and I've tried learning to play trumpet....but my little brother isn't the best teacher.

Instead of a people person....I tend to be more of an animal person. I guess it's like an obsession I have with animals.

I would have to say that even though I don't have my license yet I'm pretty dang good at driving.

I can hit hard. In fact...I guess according to Shaun and Bryan I hit like a man. Which I guess can be a good or bad thing.

I'm really good in science class. Although I don't have an A. What can I say...I'm a slacker.lol.

Screwing up. I've raised it to an artform.

Yea....maybe we should all start a club and have jackets!!!!

That is awesome. I wish I could make a fantastic bad example. Most of the time it's just a good bad example

Obssesed with animals? Maybe you just have an affinity for them. Obsession is a little bit... extreme

Perhaps too humble Sarah...I'm sure you can find something to brag about.

No, I've seen an "obsession" with animals....I don't think you're obsessed.

Okay....maybe not obssesed, but you know what I mean.

No, I've seen an "obsession" with animals....I don't think you're obsessed.

Shaun, you dirty little bastard!

I'm definatly not that "close" with animals.
