Sales, advertising

I rough ridin' hate salesmen. If I want it, I'll do the research and buy it. You are paid by the company to sell it to me, how the eff can I trust you?

As for advertising, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Hj2K0wo

construction worker on skyscraper-  terrible fear of heights

lawn guy-  hate it when it's really hot outside



other than those, i'm pretty confident that i'd excel at every other profession in the entire world.

Anything that requires lying, not laughing at things, & not getting misty eyed after hearing sad or inspiring stories.   I also don't think I could be in a position that would require firing people that are actually good employees/people but budgets just need to get cut or the company has decided to outsource etc.

it is a severely under-appreciated art form.  I'm terrible at it.  I'm patient, I'm very craftsman-ish, I take great care in detailed work, but I'm horribly terrible at that crap.  Pretty much the reason why I don't buy DIY fixer-uppers anymore.  Also, gyp. ceilings are of the devil.

All of these apply to me. I'll throw in construction worker in general. I love doing stuff in my own house, but doing one thing like drywall, plumbing, fireproofing, etc. all your life just has to suck ass.

I actually got to be decent at it. Problem is, I have too high of standards and I'm not good enough for them. Surprisingly, my wife is great at it. So she now patches all the holes.

Not firing. Letting go. Didn't get confirmation on the contract's status until COB Friday. Not gonna wait until next Friday because they deserve as much heads up as possible.
