No, but I’m ploughing on anyway

Yes – I’m a web developer, love my job, and enjoy learning new stuff pretty much daily. I’ve hated almost every other job I’ve had.

Kinda, but that doesn’t mean I like it. 😐

Can’t get up in the morning, shit diet of crap food, drink to much, Opinonated.

I’m a student, so yeah!!

😆

I would have to say yes. Not in the best situation at the minute – nearly resigned last week – but I can turn it on whenever I want, my problem is motivation.

yes, looking after the kids. Get to play Lego, read books, make interesting stuff, ride bikes, play in the park, go hiking.

Yes I am – it’s just all the idiots I have to work with who keep farking it up for me!

My job in hospitality should be very “hands on” but I am decidely “hands off” so I quite like being the boss, currently its going well but that hasn’t always been the case 😕

Yes – I liked to think so. However,I feel there also needs to be a certain ammount of hard work etc. Or I would be out of business

Yes – The vast majority of the time

yes.
although some people think i have no talent whatsoever but i just ignore them and keep doing what i do (and get paid for it)

Yes – I’m a bully and inveterate liar.

I’m a bully and inveterate liar.

Constable Savage ?

hahahahahahahahaha good lord no, no-one can be naturally gifted at what I do. The best you can get is experienced enough not to get very badly hurt or sued by clients if it goes tits up.

Kinda. I’ve got a pretty poor head for numbers and no people skills at all, both big downsides really considering I work in a finance office. But I’ve got the ability to put together scattered bits of barely-connected info, and also to make good judgement calls based on what most folks think is insufficient info, which ends up being more important.

(no shortage of people who can do finance stuff but most of them aren’t well equipped to deal with the total chaos of the organisation I work for)

I’m a lorry driver.
is it even possible to be naturally gifted at murdering prostitutes?

I’m a miserable misanthrope with violent tendencies. So I’m particularly well suited to being a bike mechanic.

I’ve been a porn* for 20 years. No complaints yet.

I am still not quite sure what it is i actually do…

Seem to generally ‘do my job’ although there are several key things i am monumentally crap at that i get support with from those with more experience, which helps a lot. I seem to be good at making decisions when others can’t/don’t want to.

Got to be said i do love my job even 5 years into it. Have the odd wobbly day but 99% of the time i think i am extremely lucky to have a job, be ok at it and able to employ others.

Reckon so…

I wash pots in a pub for 10 hours a week, which doesn’t need much natural talent, other than prioritising what I need to do. gives me £50 a week for bike bits though, so I can’t complain.

im a clock maker (since leaving the army) im employed as a welder but i go out on site and take clocks apart and fix them.

i am a naturally gifted welder/sheet metal worker and i really love my job.

I have my talents. Which suit me for the job on my job description. But not the job I’m actually doing…

On the other hand I had an interview for a job this morning which could possibly be the most suitable job for me on this earth…

Some aspects of my job very much so others not at all – so I have gone back to a shop floor post to do more of the stuff I am good at and as little of the stuff I am crap at

I’m AWESOME, ’nuff said.

yes.. full time stay at home Dad and part time artist..

now if I could just incorporate roaming the earth with an endless flagon of rough and a dog on a string whilst raucously poking mind bendingly inebriated fun at the sheeple I’d be just grand..

I have maths degree and work in IT – go figure 😯

No, It bores me most of the time, but its doable. The thing I like least is the thing I don’t like about employment. I’m not paid to do a task I’m paid to be somewhere and be bussy. I want to be asked to do x for y amount of money by z time.

No, not at all. Destroys my confidence on a daily basis.

One day, one day I look forward to leaving it all behind.

Worked for a company that grew from me and the boss to 20+ employees, got bought out and grew some more.

As the company grew, so did I – ended up in senior management and with reflection I got the position on merit, but after a period of time in that position I became increasingly crap at it. I don’t doubt I wasn’t capable, there was nothing overly hard about it, I just didn’t apply myself very well – perhaps due to boredom, lack of focus/interest and a certain level of stress.

Said company no longer exists, I work for myself and am back on the tools, consitently getting good feedback, building a good reputation and commanding a decent wage. I suppose I must be ok at it based on that and seeing some of the other muppets kicking around in the industry it’s not hard to shine. I’m not superhuman, but can turn out 200% productivity of a good percentage of numbskulls I work alongside.

It will be a cold day in hell when I ever return to management.

I’d say of my last “real” job that I was bloody good at it and maybe there were elements of my personality which helped that – one might say I had an aptitude for it, but I don’t think that’s the same as “naturally gifted”. It still required a lot of hard work.

I would say I’m naturally gifted to be a layabout retiree though 🙂

but can turn out 200% productivity of a good percentage of numbskulls I work alongside.

To be perfectly honest, I’ve not really seen anything in you that would preclude you from manangement, I personally don’t think it’s rocket science it just needs that certain something.

No, not at all. Destroys my confidence on a daily basis.

One day, one day I look forward to leaving it all behind.

Never give up Jimmy! NEVER!

up until a month ago then yes (engineer) now in management and no – struggling. but the pays better so milking it till;

A. I get better at it
B. I get fired.
