You evidently need a dishwasher for the latter; I've no idea what to suggest re the former.

Best,

Okay, that doesn't count.  That's the same thing as saying, 'I suck at staying on task'.  You have to post something that you're ACTUALLY good at.

I assure you I am indeed very good at that.

I guess I can add something else though... Hmm...

Good at: drinking Dr Pepper (which is the same as saying 'bad at not drinking dr pepper', mind you)

Good at= gaming (Former of professional team CS 1.6, NXL> team, one of the strongest gaming pro team at my country) and... golf (7 times won junior amateur championship), and also computer knowledge & programming (enthusiast user at PCGamer forum and Mentor at CHIP forum, gaming PC division).
My latest project on programming is make a virtual piano based at Linux OS. hehe...

Bad at= looking gf, or I'm always friendzoned, due of my 'unique' hobby at classical music and gaming. Oh...
