All My Gettings

Things that I am generally good at:

• Fitting things I have recently read/heard into conversations
  
• Getting people to talk about themselves
  
• Flirting
  
• Selecting good presents
  

Things that I generally fail at

• Keeping myself productively occupied for 40 hours a week
  
• Relationships of all stripes
  
• Sticking with projects beyond my level of interest in them
  
• Being serious even when seriousness is required

Now, I don't really believe in reincarnation, but I'm pretty sure I was either meant to be, or already was, a courtesan in a royal court somewhere.
