Have you ever been around someone who needed help with something that you just happened to be a little more knowledgeable about ? So you figure you would just offer your help, I mean, it’s the right thing to do, to help your fellow man.
I am naturally curious Sometimes I just wish I didn’t know as much as I do (not really). It is my curse. If I hear someone ask a question or need an answer as to how to do something, I have to look it up, try to find the answer, learn more about it. And with the resources of the internet……OMG ! ! ! !
You know the saying , Jack of all trades, master of none. Well, I think I am a Jackie of all trades, master of none.
I blame my upbringing, my childhood. I loved to just stand around and watch my dad work on things….. There was never - it couldn’t be done, you just tried and figured it out … whatever way you could….. and if you didn’t have the right part …. You made it or you recycled something into something else. (Did the word recycle even exist in the 60’s ?) I remember using my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine and I made my own skirt…. I think I was about six…I had no clue what I was doing, but I figured it out. A straight piece of fabric and sew it along the side…. NO PROBLEM… . I think we still have that sewing machine… stored in the basement under a staircase.
The problem now is, people have a misconception that just because you may know a little about a lot, they think you are an EXPERT in EVERYTING…..
GIVE ME A BREAK….
Stop hollering at me…..
I am doing the best I can …..
It is not my fault………..
Remember how I am removing the word Stupid from my vocabulary ? Well, I have to really try and add
Sorry, don’t know anything about that
Or
Just plan NO ! ! ! !
