Where do you feel capable? (16th November)

[randomling]

It's challenge time!

Comment with a situation where you feel capable.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you feel like it.

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props or ask them to tell you more!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange, or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Some situations where I feel capbale:

* Analysing the media that I love. (Books, TV, movies, music, games, you name it.)
* Manipulating spreadsheets and databases.
* Writing fiction (sometimes).
* Programming (also sometimes).
* Solving problems and building systems.
* Providing a listening ear.

(I would really like to feel more capable at maths. I'm getting there.)

So it turns out I'm actually a really good public speaking teacher. I applied for the job not expecting to get it, let alone love it, but I did and I do. Also, writing.

Dinner parties! I love them. :)

And taking the bus is totally a developed skill. It terrifies me, mostly because I have THE worst luck.

[ashkitty]

Teaching is totally exciting. :) What is it you teach?

DIY is one of those things that makes me feel TOTALLY accomplished every time I do some. That's awesome!
