I've got skills.

I was just complimented on my skills in the self-check out line. Seriously, the lady that stands at the booth and monitors all the self-check out stations told me, as I walked out, that I had done really well and that she was really impressed. I felt as if I had just gotten a sticker on my paper which read, "Follows directions well." Because, seriously what else is there to a self-check out station than following directions?

I think she was impressed because I got through three different produce items without asking for assistance. I feel bad for that lady. She must have to answer all kinds of stupid questions. I think if I were her, my answer would always be, "Well, what does the screen tell you to do?" You know answer a question with a question, like Jesus always did. Hmm...speaking of Jesus maybe I should start a whole line of products with the initials... W.D.T.S.T.Y.T.D. (What does the screen tell you to do.) I guess that's a little long for a bracelet, unless someone had really thick wrists. It would be the evangelistic tool for non-useless people everywhere. Yes, I do think everyone who can't follow directions is pretty much useless.

Anyway, I'm thinking of adding my recently acknowledged skills as a good self-checker-outer to my resume. It's similar to "Plays well with technology."
