My problem is that I can kinda do a bunch of things. I'm kinda okay at playing the sax. I'm kinda okay at singing. I'm kinda okay at playing the piano. Same way at work. I know a little bit about software development (and a little bit of a dozen languages). I know a little bit about databases. I know a little bit about networking. Etc.

Sometimes I wish I were really good at something instead of just being a generalist.

I wish I had a knack for interior decorating. It doesn't come naturally to me at all. Ima mentioned in the other talent thread that she can do this. Ima, want to come to St. Louis and decorate my place for me? :)

I wish I could play the piano. And I wish I could stop procrastinating.

I wish I had some musical ability, but alas, I don't. I can't carry a tune, although I'm doing much better with "Happy Birthday" and "The Star Spangled Banner". Not good, but better. I guess that comes from practice!
