Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

ROLLER SKATING IN A BUFFALO HERD
Question Of The Week 10-26-15
What are you an expert at?
Here is my greatest expertise and I wish I weren't so good at it:-)
This is taking some time to think. Not because I am so modest...more because I am somewhat insecure. There is not much that I do at an "expert" level unless it is getting on someone's nerves. I like to think I am an expert observer of nature and human nature around me.??
Annie, You made me laugh this morning with the expert photo you posted! I think maybe I'm a Jack of all trades - good at some things but expert in none. People have said that I'm an excellent listener - but I don't think expert listener sounds right.
Whenever I reach some skill level in an area, i get bored and ready to move on. Maybe i'm an expert butterfly smelling a flower and moving to the next.
According to my daughters, I'm a cat charmer, a dog charmer and a baby charmer. In my mind, I'm with Lisa on this one... procrastinator extraordinaire. I think that beats expert.
Hubbie thinks I'm an expert pie maker, but I dunno. I think there are better experts at that. Oh, and that is an amaaazing sundae you're dishing into there!
Jack of all trades, master of none--is that an expression I remember hearing applied to myself? Roller skating in a buffalo herd--now that is a great expression and one I haven't heard before.
Sonny is a Jill of all Trades and Master of none:) my expertise is knowing more than I should about things I can do nothing about.. making those issues awful dang painful..:(
i was (and in some circles, still considered so) an expert in the environment, both chemically and micro biologically, general statistical analysis and a great number of other things relating to the sciences and investigation, HOWEVER now i would claim the same one you are an expert in...eating

ReplyDeleteTabor, your observance of nature also lends to your expertise as a photographer.
DeleteProcrastinating, definitely procrastinating...
ReplyDeleteLisa, ain't we all procrastinators!

ReplyDeleteBarb, how could you keep from jumping in and calling yourself an expert photographer.? I think we all see you is that.
DeleteWhenever I reach some skill level in an area, i get bored and ready to move on. Maybe i'm an expert butterfly smelling a flower and moving to the next.
ReplyDeleteJan, on the matter of canines you are an expert.
DeleteAccording to my daughters, I'm a cat charmer, a dog charmer and a baby charmer. In my mind, I'm with Lisa on this one... procrastinator extraordinaire. I think that beats expert.
ReplyDeleteCube, those are some charming fields of expertise. Lol
DeleteHubbie thinks I'm an expert pie maker, but I dunno. I think there are better experts at that.
ReplyDeleteOh, and that is an amaaazing sundae you're dishing into there!
Kerry, you could not have a higher praise. A husband who likes your pie is a definite testimony to an expert
DeleteExpert? Nah.
ReplyDeleteFar too practised in feeding my face and procrastinating.
Still on a learning curve with most things.
Elephant's child, that makes you an expert on the learning curve.
DeleteSarcasm :)
ReplyDeleteRiot kitty, no one can disagree with that. My god son is in Germany and says they don't understand sarcasm there so he has to explain a lot.
DeleteI'm an expert at nothing, but I've sure apprenticed at a lot of things...
ReplyDelete,
DeleteBrighid, you are an expert in supporting our military!
DeleteI echo Lisa - procrastinating. :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, that echo rings loudly for all of us.

Olga, I think you got the quote right. You can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd is an old Roger Miller song

Sonny. you are an expert decorator. A (wo)man for all seasons:-) and of course an expert babydoll designer!
DeleteSleeping. I fall a sleep wherever.
ReplyDeletePlaying the fool. :)

ReplyDeleteUsually I'm good at alot of things like baking, pics, painting, writing.... But not so much sharing a house...
ReplyDeleteMy job, although my "talent" in not sucking up to people has prevented me from job advancement.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess that "not playing nice" is another one of my good talents.
Father Nature's Corner
I think it's fair to say that I'm an expert at handling difficult people.
ReplyDeleteHa! I am the same way!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll get back to you on that... one of these days ;)
ReplyDeleteGoodness! You and I share the same expertise.
