Kind of like how Jon Snow is good at killing people, but hates it. My two are printer maintenance and end-user support.

Stored Procedure review......

Fantastic at finding out the root cause but pains me every time I do it.

But do you have a good 'brood' face like Jon Snow? Also, the great fashion sense?

Harassment.

(Just kidding. My face must be something because I've been told that it would make a freight train take a dirt road. I don't think it was complimentary.)

No no, I meant to brood like Jon Snow. Looking out in the distance looking sad and forlorn. Not like a 'broad' (like me..) or a broad face.

Testing and certification. Easy but I hate them both either way.

I'm glad someone finds them easy. They definitely absorb my time.

I'm too good with end users. All the nice things and funny jokes I say just come out even when I'm annoyed beyond belief. It's a curse, I tell ya.

Not dropping a problem until it's fixed. I find that managers pick up on this trait they'll dig up tickets like "open 130 days" or "status: unresolved" and shove them into my queue

I get that all the time, not for tickets but through email. Why is this records this or why is this showing up pending.......

It can get overwhelming sometimes.
