Career advice

This is where I, a person that has no money, who dresses like a victim of some natural disaster, and who hasn't had a decent job ever, gives great advice on how to be better at the job you currently have, which you hate. Don't you just love that?

Being bad at stuff can be good

Redhead with a perplexed and confused lookHere is a great concept for you, two words I have put together: "Purposely inept" (maybe it should be purposedly inept, english is my second language so bear with me). The mening of this great concept that I have been observing in other peoples behaviour is this: If you are good at something you will constantly be asked to do more of it. If you display a total lack of skill at something you will not be asked to do it again, and you will not be bothered by people to do stupid shit for them any more. Great isn't it?
