But you absolutely loath doing, in fact you'd probably prefer to stick pins in your eyes.
Unfortunately, you seem to either be the best person for the job or, you get the impression that everyone else is purposely bad at it giving you no other option than to get on with it yourself!
For me it's Painting! |

I'm good at data analysis. In my previous job I had to do it, I have a skill for seeing patterns and trends but oh my god it bored the tits off me.
I have kept my gob shut in my new role so I don't get lumbered with it ever again |

"Nothing. I ensure that I'm rubbish at anything I loathe doing. It stops people asking you to do it  "
Tried that! Unfortunately everyone else is so rubbish at it or pretending to be rubbish at it that it either would never get done or it would get done badly.
Have to confess that I've been purposefully bad at making tea and coffee in the past when working for other people, especially when there's lots to make for. |

I worked somewhere where the same two people made drinks for everyone all the time. I was one of those people, I became purposefully bad at making the drinks for those who never offered |

I always took my own drink in anyway so never expected anyone to make me a drink. It was because I was young that they tried to get me to make theirs for them. It wasn't in my job description and I was more qualified and skilled than some of the others there that expected to be waited on. |

"Cutting the grass and hedge and compacting the wheelie bins down. Seems no other human in my house can do this"
I don't mind cutting grass and hedge trimming. Swap?
I know what you mean though, my house is full of lazy good for nothings. |

Data analysis sounds dull as ditch water. Your secret is safe with me  |

Can't you add in the occasional fantasy scenario... falling pianos, being captured by perverts? |

"Staff appraisals. Especially the bad ones where I have to put someone in a pip. Unless the are a complete and utter morons"
Staff appraisals here go something like...
"Good job mate" or
"What the fuck, are you an utter moron?"
Last two appraisals I gave myself.
Advantages and disadvantages of being boss and staff.
I'm kinder to people that work for me, unless they are utter moron's

I always use small local places. Easy to check reputations and build a good relationship with.
In my experience it's the large nationals that are the shitesters. |
