I Am Good With My Hands

What things popped into your mind when you read the title? Have you thought of something wholesome?.... or maybe not?

Thanks a lot, sponsors! ❤️

At work, we held our meetings every Thursday and Friday. While I was working on paperworks, a notification popped up. At precisely 10 in the morning, there's a meeting to welcome the newly hired peeps. Our workplace's tradition is to embrace the newly hired peeps on a Tuesday.

In that meeting, there's no real agenda to be discussed. It's just catch-up and getting to know each other, especially the newly hired ones. If I remembered it clearly, there were three.

We usually introduce ourselves by stating our names and something interesting about ourselves. Then, we need to answer a random question. A while ago, the random question was about household chores: What is your favorite household chore?

I was called by a colleague. I started introducing myself then I answered the random question by saying that it's difficult for me to choose just one household chore because I'm good with my hands.

After I uttered those words, some of my colleagues burst into laughter. That's when I realized that what I've said has another meaning!! (Well, what do you think it is?) Hahaha!

It's been a minute and more before we called another colleague to answer. That was embarrassing, especially since our supervisors were also in the meeting.

Looking at it from a different angle, what other tasks can I perform well with my hands?

• Lettering and Calligraphy (Writing)

  I don't have a talent for drawing, but I have good handwriting. I hope that's my way of compensating for my lack of skill in drawing. Lol.

• Playing musical instruments

  At an early age, I learned how to play the piano. I pursued learning how to play the guitar when I was in high school.

• Baking and making desserts

  Another thing that compensates for my lack of cooking skills is that I can bake and make desserts.

There are still many incredible things that I could do with my hands (we're wholesome here, okay??) Hahaha!

I can still hear the laughter of my colleagues after I uttered those words. Ughhh! How come they associated it with something inappropriate when we're in a meeting? 😂

What other tasks can you perform well with your hands?

Let me know!
