“unskilled” labor
It varies from person to person.
I can build a house from start to finish and figure it all out easily. I can rebuild a car pretty easy too. Computer hardware and networking stuff is no problem. I started navigating the us with nothing but maps (pre internet access availability for me) at 16 and have driven all over since. I excel in spatial relations from what I’m told.
I don’t understand nouns, verbs, adverbs, or anything that goes along with it but can speak and write clearly. Learning languages is a pita. Same goes for programming. Interacting with people outside of certain things in person makes me cringe. Interacting on the phone is worse unless I know someone, I’m currently still using my wife’s debit card to access my bank account 7 years after she passed because I have to call the bank to fix mine and I can’t stand the thought.
Digital music production. Making a tune is easy, making it sound good and well balanced is a bitch.
Finding the will to get out of bed in the morning. For twenty years I’ve gone to work 40 or more hours a week and honestly I just can’t seem to find a care to do it anymore. I’m sure it’s tied to depression or not being happy in my life or some shit but really it just seems easier some days to say why not just end it and not stress about being late on rent or having some awkward conversation telling someone you were sick and you know you shouldnt be missing days but really the work is just not fulfilling so I have no drive to keep doing it.
It’s almost creepy, are you me? This is exactly how i would describe the shit i am like for about a year now.
Not quite, I’m the mirrored version you see when you look in the mirror, except I must say the mirror must be fogged because it says lady in your name, so you’d have to be squinting hard. My beard is a bit hard to mistake, lol. Hope you find some sort of spark in your life soon that starts to make things better, I really need to find a new line of work probably.
Accepting self.
For me, making small talk. I don’t even try anymore.
How 'bout that weather we’re having? Sure is, weathery.
I accidentally did it yesterday. Took the dog for a walk, passed a woman sitting at the park bench near the park eating lunch. She was the instigator though I think, asked if I was local and what was the best thing about living here.
Having a smallish cute dog might be the key, but in this era of everyone staring at their phone it’s harder than usual.
Turned out she was waiting for her kids friends to arrive, and they were out harvesting fruit from god knows where.
Just being outside is probably a good enough start. A pet is a handy excuse with added virtue signalling I guess.
Replacing a bath with a shower on concrete slab. That drain is four inches away from where I want it.
Teaching (elementary school). It’s my third career and definitely the hardest of the three.
Pulling out apparently
Can’t fight millions of years of evolution
i came for the memes, i stayed for the double entendres
Yeah you did.
Where would apparently be pulled out from?
Probably a front loading clothes washer.
Speling.
Art. Even if you’re a natural you’re still putting a lot of work into it.
Working from home. It sounds like a dream, but it’s called a job for a reason.
I have a love hate relationship with my remote job. I hate my job and its incredibly difficult to motivate myself to be productive, especially with all the distractions at home which leads to constant procrastination and worry about deadlines. But then again I am at home and not an office which saves me a lot of time and money and slow days are just filled with world of warcraft.
Getting adequate mental health treatment
Apparently, applying window tint is more difficult than it seems.
I regularly see cars with large bubbles between the tint and the glass. I decided years ago that if I want window tint but can’t afford to have it professionally applied, then I can’t afford tint. Having no tint at all is better than living with poorly applied tint.
Snowboarding, even without any tricks or anything fancy. Just cruising down the snow is also very difficult.
I picked it up very quickly. Swapping edge and linking turns in a few runs and jumping baby kickers and doing small board slides on day 2.
The only hard part by far is using T-bars. I still fall on them 😞 Even in the kids area lol. And yet I just did a few runs of my first black and only went down on that twice.
The thing that clicked for me was to look further ahead, keep up pace, and stop thinking. Kind of clicked in minutes after that.
I’ve only ever skied and I was awful at it. Snowboarding has always looked easier
Pro tip: It’s not.
