Well, I'll give you surprising possibly.

But if one can understand Word/36 (on System/36, no less...don't start
me!), as an office temp, job control is nothin'.

Then again, I was the only temp in my office that knew Word/36 and bothered
to learn that beast.  :)

Maybe I just like complicated things.  Except SOAP...which is overly
complicated for no good reason.  At all.
