Are you really good at anything you hate?

There are two things that I am really good at that I really hate. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I am extremely good at washing dishes. And, I hate cooking. I am a world class dishwashing machine loader. Not many people can do it as well as I can. But, what that means is that I always get dishwashing responsibilities at parties, at home, at school. That sucks.

Also, I hate accounting. But, I have an internal abacus in my head. I have an intuitive feel for when something doesn't balance. But, I HATE IT. I am always doing my taxes late. I hate tracking anything. Paperwork and accounting are the two things I hate most about my business. And, whenever anyone I know has a problem figuring out what happened in a complex transaction, I am always the one called upon to figure out where the hidden cheese went. I'd be a great auditor, but I'd kill myself if I had to do that all day long.

I am like you that I hate cooking but don't mind doing the dishes and cleaning up so when we have company with us at the timeshares, I let them cook and I stay out of the kitchen. Later, I do the cleaning up and everyone is happy. When we are the two of us, we mostly eat out for dinner but that may have to change now since everything is getting so expensive.

You are a wizard with figures, Boca. I have read this already many times and I am always in awe.

PS. I didn't answer your original question. I am very good at procrastinating and I hate it.

not good at what I hate doing but perhaps I excell at doing something I love with someone I hate doing it with?

I have been very lucky over my entire lifetime to find great matches with people that compliment the things I LOVE to do with things they HATE to do and vice versa.

Hmmmm, I'm really good at cleaning, and really hate doing it, especially these days. I've always been the type to re-clean after someone else has already cleaned, or to pre-clean, before they began cleaning.

Not so much these days, tho. Lately, I'm fine with just letting it go.

Well, based on some of the examples, I love to cook. Thought about becoming a chef, but I am not a night person. I hate cleaning the kitchen, doing dishes, anything cleaning related.

I hate to read. I have some good books just to read, and some good instuctional books that I should sit down and read and maybe better at some of the things I am doing, but I just hate it. Always have. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times", well...that is enough of that book. But, I write the procedures at work and am good. I have written articles for wine making magazines and internet sites. I am a fact type person. I can take the facts and put them into instructions. But I am awful at spelling.

When I was an undergraduate in Civil Engineering, I was a curve-buster in the structural design classes. For me structural analysis was one of the easiest topics I ever studied.

But I really didn't like the subject, had no interest in being a structural engineer, and was taking structures classes only because they were core requirements. The other students who were seriously interested in structures were very glad when the core courses were done so I wouldn't be in their classes anymore.

I hate ironing, but do it very well. And I'm great at all the paperwork required on my job, dang it! Why can't I be a wonderful singer, or play an instrument with great talent, or understand, really understand how things work financially so I don't have to trust anyone with that. I really envy the inner abacus you have, boca.
