I've always been decent at getting things done quickly and organization.

Nobody can get in trouble with my wife as good as I. Nobody gets their ass kicked as often, either.

So I have that going for me, which is nice.

Expert? I used to think I was an expert at a few things, then I got around people (like some of the members here) who are EXPERTS.

Now I accept that my goal in life is to be helpful in as many situations as possible. I love being able to say "I can help you with that!"

Headaches; migraines specifically...

I know a little about a lot, but I don't know everything. I'm odd.

I’ve got one of the same pieces of paper as an earlier poster - and enough knowledge to know I am NOT an expert on the law - used to be pretty good on laws, and precedent, in TX about the carrying of a weapon though...

I make a living cooking... If it involves milk, sugar, and eggs, as the main ingredient, I’m fairly good...

I’m getting better about gluten-free baking, but I don’t think that field has produced an expert, yet.

I do know an expert pastry chef, though.

Turning beer into urine.

Technically an "expert" in IDPA.

In reality, I know a bit about a lot of things.

Expert

X is an unknown quantity

Spurt is a drip under pressure

Knowledgeable, yes...Expert, no.

I am not an expert. I am just well read.

Sigh... Too true. The older I get, the smarter I was.

Maybe asking what expertise "do you get paid to provide" is a better question ha!!

As for expertise I don't get paid for...
Making wine

Roasting whole lamb Greek style on a suvla (spit)

Taking photos & videos including editing

Building & repairing computers, installing software, setting up networks

Replacing parts on Sig pistols.

ooo, I'm also a life long student of Tom Sawyer and how to "get" a fence painted!

Nice rocks at that!

Things related to petroleum I can speak most to. I continue familiarity with the taste of my foot.

I've forgotten much MUCH more than I now know

Pissing off my wife. Today anyway.

I wouldn't call myself an "expert" on anything, but I am pretty good at a few things. I was a very good COBOL programmer, something I did for 31 years for USAF and later Texas Instruments. I was able to make COBOL do things it was not originally designed to do, but my bosses wanted it. I'm pretty good at rooting out tidbits of genealogy from the riches on the Internet, and making connections among them. That being said, I'm not a genious programmer nor a whiz at genealogy--just a pretty good practitioner. I have a knack of seeing things that others do not, and a skewed way of looking at things. That has sometimes been useful.
