Agnes by Tony Cochran for October 08, 2023

she can, Trout

A hint Agnes: If you look like you’re not good at anything, then you end up having to do what other people don’t want to do themselves.

So—Agnes thinks she’s a good-for-nothing. And why not? Everyone in her life thinks the same thing!!

Trout has a point, Agnes. You probably can be bad at stuff for a long time. But at some point it’s best to stop trying.

The less you do, the less people expect from you.

She’s not very good at stuff, but is great at not being good at stuff, but is only so-so at being great about not being good at stuff……..

Being good at nothing is better than being good for nothing, I think

Never let it be known that you are quite good at fixing the office’s copy machine.

Agnes takes that as a challenge

Perhaps Agnes should look into a career in politics?

You will fine your niche; we all do……

Learning early that if you work well you get to do your co"worker"s job as well as your own.

Perfectly logical, although, I don’t know, if she practices she could be.

Au contraire, Trout.

She is doing something good. I rely on her as my Sensai.

“I can if I’m really good at being bad.”

excelling at mediocrity is something you need to work at. my wife works with a whole bunch of people who work harder at not doing their jobs than at working…
