I couldn't claim to be brilliant in many areas. Well, I could, but I'd be fibbing. I’m more of a jack of all trades. I can do a bit of everything, but nothing brilliantly. Except for my organisational skills. Now they're pretty impressive.
If you need organising, I’m your man! Nothing ever goes awry on my watch, and if it does, well, it’s someone else's fault. I organise everything to the nth degree.
I run our little compound the way I ran my past businesses: like a military operation. Alarms are set, schedules are followed, and no task escapes notice. Jobs are listed on the fridge with magnets left behind by the previous owner. It’s a running to-do list with no room for forgetting or excuses.
We store quantities of quite a few necessities incase of plague and pestilence and I have an inventory posted on the door of each storage press. Records are kept scrupulously and updated meticulously. I even taught the lads a simple mnemonic: “Second last? Order fast.” Use the penultimate box of tissues? You'd better be logging on to reorder.
The system is flawless in design, form, and function. Naturally, since I devised it myself.
Experience has taught me that if you don’t organise them, people just slack off. But give them a list and a schedule? Magic happens. And it it doesn't they get a damned good trashing!
Only kidding. I'm a pacifist. I was thumped in the face once, during a robbery. No, I wasn’t the robber, I was the robbee. I have engaged in fisticuffs on a few occasions, so I may or may not have poked a few people in the eye...in self-defence, of course, but I've never thumped anyone in the face. With the size of my biceps, I imagine I’d pack a fairly hefty punch.
I tried to get a photo for you, but since I couldn’t quite capture their magnificence, you’ll have to take my word for it.
I’m not brilliant at the selfie thing.

prompt asking 'What would you say you're brilliant at doing? and Have you ever been punched in the face or have you ever punched or slapped someone else in the face?'
Please excuse my deplorable photos, but have you ever tried to take a photo in a press?
