Specialization is for insects.

Let's see.  What can I do?

• Change a diaper.  YES.  As the eldest of five and with a daughter of my own, I don't know how I could have got this far without knowing how to change a nappy.
• Plan an invasion.  NO.  I am no tactician.  I'm not sure what use this is, though, outside video games, and I haven't seriously played video games since my teens.
• Butcher a hog.  NO.  In Till We Have Faces this was the test that the soldiers, and also Orual, had to undergo to prove that they had the stomach to kill a man.  I don't believe I would pass.
• Conn a ship.  Do you know, I don't even know what this means.  I should look it up.
• Design a building.  I believe I could actually do this if given the time to research beforehand.  Everything I built would be aping Pugin, however.
• Write a sonnet.  YES.  I can do this, and I believe I'm fairly good at it.
• Balance accounts.  YES.  I don't claim to be very good at it, but I can and do do this.
• Build a wall.  NO.  I should probably know how to do this.
• Set a bone.  NO.  I should be better up on first-aid than I am.  I used to be a lifesaver, but that didn't involve knowing how to set bones.  (I vaguely thought this list included more first-aid stuff I have no idea how to do, including delivering a baby, but it seems not.)
• Comfort the dying.   I have done this, but I didn't realise at the time that the person was dying.  I went back the next day to talk to her some more and found she was insensible, and the next day she was dead.  I like to think I made her last days a little more bearable.
• Take orders.  I don't have a problem taking orders (in the sense that I'm too proud to be told what to do) although, in all honesty, sometimes my memory and habit of over-literal interpretation means I have a problem following orders once taken.
• Give orders.  NO.  I am really bad at giving orders.  It would be useful to be able to once in a while.
• Act alone.  YES, sort of.  I work better with someone to ask what the hell we're supposed to be doing at the moment, in case I forget.  But I can work alone.
• Solve equations.  YES.  I wouldn't be much good at my job otherwise.
• Analyse a new problem.  (Gosh, I didn't know the Americans spelt "analyse" with a Z.)  YES, that's my job.
• Pitch manure.  YES.  I have at least once taken a week's holiday in order to spend it mucking out horses.  But I don't know how a person couldn't pitch manure, unless they weren't able-bodied or something.
• Program a computer.  YES.  ...I flatter myself that I have a certain talent at this.
• Cook a tasty meal.  YES.  A basic meal, but a tasty one.
• Fight efficiently.  I don't know.  Probably not.  I have rarely needed to.
• Die gallantly.  I haven't yet discovered whether I can do this.  I hope I can.

How about you?
