If we were to start a DGN commune, what would be your skill/trade to contribute?

Cool idea for a thread. This was fun to read!

I grew up on a farm, can grow food, still remember how to milk a cow and many things about animal care, food preservation. It was fun when I was a kid to be around the animals and I still love to grow things, but I always and still do hate farm life. First time I set foot in a city I swore I'd never live in the country again, and I haven't.

I'm not sure why I'm this way, but I just like my own space. I work my ass off at full time work plus several side projects just so I can have this house to myself (with my kids here only) and don't have to take in any roommates.

The truth is, though I love you folks dearly I'm way too much of a loner to live with ya ;)

I'll come visit though and help you out with seedtime and harvest-time.

If it was really a commune I could do or figure out how to do whatever, as anything were I feel like I'm really HELPING is a nice job. Being too far removed from the positive effects of the job (aka like in the office) isn't nearly as gratifying.

I'm guessing there won't be much use for a computer repairman (but I'll bring the Geek Squad outfit anyhow)

I can be the commune massage therapist. Just bring a hug or a "hey thanks!" along with you .

If the town bitching-post isn't taken (aka the therapist) I can fill in until someone with a degree shows up.

Fairly good at weeding out the undesirables from the matchmaking pool. (a.k.a The Pick-A-Pig contest.)

Looks like the town spank-the-bad-girls job might already be taken but I'll sign up as an understudy just in case.

I also can fill in as the town politically incorrect wise-ass or crazy crank spiritual prophet as needed (One in the same job right?), I'm pretty good at either despite my straight-laced online persona. These jobs are probably ALSO taken... understudy +2.

I can make the totally pointless T-Shirts with random sayings on them such as "Frak Off!" that will be required.

I can do most any of the crummy zero-skill jobs no one else wants to do as long as the air isn't too foul. The totally lacking in glamor, thankless jobs that nevertheless must be done, really do need someone to do them. *glances at current sig*

Stormknight: Umm... you're good with medical/science? UMMM you don't see this as one of the MOST important skills? we would need someone with medical experience so most things minor could be dealt with in house (especially if Phee and Meg are going to be blowing things up). Thank GAWD we got some nurses on staff too. :)

*Looks sternly at Phee and Meg over his glasses*

What the hell are you guys doing in that lab?

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
