What is YOUR Super Power?

[Mikey P]

meaning, what's the one thing you do better than anyone in your family, circle of friends and dudes or chicks in your hood?


Me?

I am King of the Jerry Rigs.


I can fix crap with zip ties, rivets, bubble gum and whittling with a pocket knife or a Makita 10 times better than McGiver.

Can you monetize that or use it to help you through the upcoming supply chain apocalypse?

I have....

and other than the lack of noodles in my macoroni salad unless power gets affected I'm good......


edit: and not trying to get this dumped in the rubber room but the primary driver of supply chain issues now is people buying way more shit (after relatively flat growth for a while and then a huge covid dip/recovery)....you will see prioritization of imports before you see an apocalypse



yes "but muh truckers, chips, and those damn union dock workers" add to it

Strategizing.

It used to be figuring how to process dozens of calls when area wide flooding. Or setting up drying chambers on large dry downs. Figuring out how best to processing air on mold remediation projects.

Now, it's how get events set, often multiple events a day, such as today. We had a health career fair in our large ballroom and had to flip it mid day to a talent show for the evening.

I find the most challenging aspects are dealing with our audiovisual systems. When something is going wrong and you have 300 sets of eyes on you. Maintaining a clear head to figure out what went wrong and why.

Troubleshooting whether its a Zoom settings, a laptop issue, our house system, a bad HDMI, XLR or Ethernet cable or wall plate and what I can do correct the issue.

Change a setting, use a different source, wall plate, cable, restart the system at the rack, change laptops or iPad. Never fun at the time but once everything is corrected and event comes off smoothly I feel a sense of accomplishment.

You sure it isn't delegating and then posting on MB?

Bull shitting! But not sure I’m better at it than the preachers I run with Don’t kick down It was asked.

Bullshiting is simply admitting that
You don't have the significant facts
To back up yor particular train of thought!

 

[BIG WOOD]

I'm the best at hide and seek

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, we all know it ain’t parking

 

[sassyotto]

I guess my super power is listening. Most people I know just love to talk...........about everything. Seems I am like a sponge and just absorb it all. But when I do make a comment, people listen.

Another super power would be organization.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Yeah, we all know it ain’t parking

Ouch…
