Pattern recognition and deviation thereof.

Very easy to tell when someone has something going on, is lying, or is otherwise being different.

I may not know immediately what you are up to, but I know you are up to something and can watch closer to figure it out, if needed.

I'm good at launching itty bitty springs into oblivion and trying to find that dang 10mm socket.

Actually, I'm a numbers guy.

The ability to instill confidence in my honesty from fellow employees. The dark side of that ability: Do you realize how many people you can piss off, embarrass, shame, discourage, and other insidious things just by being forthright with your conversations.

S.O.P. was always "If you want an honest opinion, ask "The Reb". If you just want reinforcement of your current beliefs/plans, better shop around.

I am still working on finishing up a retaining wall/stairs project I started 3 years ago. Not from a lack of effort either.

I used to have an uncanny knack for estimating time and resources required for various IT efforts. I used both quantitavie methods validated by self-sanity gut checks on what my math was telling me. I don't do those estimations any longer, but I can smell an unrealistic estimate a mile away.

Extreme Bullshit Detection (EBD) is a valuable gift indeed. I have a good dose of it but not as much as I'd like.

If some shit can go wrong, It will do so to me. I have the worst luck. The worlds most unlikely things happen to me. We call it (family name ) Curse.

Shit rolls downhill, picks up the septic tank, and hits me.

in the end it works its self out. I have learned to roll with it after 45 years.

I have friends who have said, dude, you are a shti magnet. I don't usually seek it out, yet it homes in on as iff Garand thumb was calling the shit in.

There's got to be an upside to that. But your're a tough mofo to be respected regardless.

Lie detector.

Without fail, I can nearly always tell a lie. Now, I may not have anything to back it up other than my feelings/intuition, but I find that professionally, personally, and just for fun... I'm nearly ALWAYS right.
