What's your curse? and your special talent? - Page 3

I guess my curse/talent, is that I have a "listening" ability as well. I think I should have desk plate that I can change from - Secretary, Psychiatrist, Counselor and Problem Solver. All the guys here at work, tell me almost everything, our vendors/salespeople, will sit in my office and talk to me for over 30 mins or more. Even my UPS guy will chit chat, much longer than necessary. It's no biggie, though, it's actually kind of funny - Almost every report card I received in elementary & middle school - stated that I was "Too Talkative", oh well.

I think it's funny (funny-strange, not funny ha-ha) that more than a couple of dwellars think they are magnets for people who need to vent/dump/unload, etc. I always felt like people sought me out to vent--listen to their life fucking story--and I HATED it. Where were all you perfect sympathetic listeners when I needed you, huh? It seems to me the world has more of the "need to vent" kind than the "sweet listener" kind.

My curse---being me.

My talent---making being me tolerable.

They didn't say they were sympathetic... they just said people dumped on them!

Guilty.....sorry

Aw--I'm just bitchy from pain. Pay no attention!

SteveDallas--you're on notice!

I know. And I just used you.

I feel so dirty now.

I'm good at listening..... for about two minutes. But if you're not done with your summary by then, you're obviously not in desperate enough need for the answer :p

Pffft. I've been "on notice" so long I forgot what it's like to be off.

Well. I could try to get you off.

SteveDallas · 10-16-2007, 03:42 PM

Are you sure that would be safe?

I do have curse - it concerns cars - no matter what, if something can go wrong in a car, it will with me.

I have had 2 - to catch on fire (while I was driving)

1 - that 3 of the 5 lugs came off (while I was driving) wtf - is that racket? DOH - better pull over, can ya feel that?

Driving down the interstate, (road work going on), one of those "big barrels" was in my lane. Not because the lane was blocked, but I believe someone had hit it earlier, driving to fast as usual - I veered over into the “emergency lane”, but instead of hitting the brake, I hit the gas. There was a decent amount of gravel in that area for whatever reason I turned the wheel a little sharp (got nervous) and started spinning in circles, at least 3 times. That was exciting.

Several more, but those are the highlights.
