Every one of us has a quirky little power. Perhaps not what most think of as a superpower. Probably not flying (unless with an airplane, helicopter or hang glider), x-ray vision or the like. More like day to day superpowers.

And, I say, we can be heroes, if only in our minds. Heroes of bringing in the donuts. Heroes of putting the cap securely back on the magic marker so that it doesn't dry out. Heroes of changing the clocks when Daylight Savings time kicks in.

My superpowers are the ability to recognize a signature from three paces (four if my glasses are on), and the ability to administer an oath. I wield the mighty
Stamp of Truth http://www.corpconnect.com/store/customimages/PSIB_.jpg and the Embosser Seal of Justice (shown here with its nifty carrying pouch) http://www.corpconnect.com/store/customimages/deluxe.jpg.

So, what's your superpower?!??!

We can be heroes, if just for one day.

I am a Household Heroine.

I can replace the toilet paper roll--and the paper towel roll as well.

I can understand what the dog is talking about. Mr. Noddy gets the "Listen here" part, but details escape him

I can always find the broom, the dustpan and the wet mop. Always.

Well, in ADDITION to my duties as a notary, I am the super hero who swoops down and says to someone whose computer is running more slowly than they'd like…."You know, if you click that thing 20 times it's not going to come up any faster…..Oh look, now you're systems shutting down."

I can make my mom laugh anytime, anywhere.

Conversely, my wife has the uncanny power to find my humor extremely un-humorous.

Excellent! A2K Hero Powers - Activated! I feel our powers growing.

I am the Great Snot Extractor.

I am very, very good at getting it out of little noses, no matter how much they complain about it.

Making kids cry. Sometimes it only takes a look, but I am very proud. It comes naturally you know.

I can smell poop a mile away.

Some times, i think I can actually hear it as it fills Beans diaper.

yep, which is why I'm here right now instead of doing my work.


I have the wonderful power of getting my children wherever they need to go and pay for their entertainment. I have the role of gas peddle and wallet down pat!

We are a talented bunch of superheroes and superheroines.

I also have incredible lunch-making abilities. I would tell you the secret of the peanut butter, but then I'd have to kill you.

I am a spreadsheet heroine. I love odd tasks that nobody else wants. Spreadsheets, charts, graphs, anything that takes some organization and involves a computer.
I am also a googler with abnormal abilities to find the right situation analysis or an article that constantly astounds my boss.
i'm a a Master Multitasker, although i still have to do better on actually finishing all the tasks I begin...

How does one become a notary? Don't you just sign up for one of those courses from tv that advertise exciting and lucrative careers such as gun repair, nail technician, and...notary?

I have the uncanny ability to scare the sh!t out my passengers when taking off-ramps at 80mph in my car.

OMG you just freaked me out with this. You could be talking about me!
I am in the middle of a complex spreadsheet for a client, and I just volunteered for a task involving setting up a database that no-one else wanted to touch!

Now if only I could tap-dance

Ahhhh. The 3 of us, sisters of the pivot table.
It is such a nerdish pleasure to anal-yze and come up with the reason we were .04% off our goal.

I can't tap dance, but I'm gonna order a dvd and learn to belly dance.

Shhhh. Don't anyone tell Slappy how to become a notary.

He'll want to get in on all those free trips we take to sandy beaches and palm trees to "discuss" the notary public economic outlook.

Notary school. They beat you, call you names, it's kinda like Tom Brown's School Days for the 21st century, so we have cel phones.

PS 4 on the spreadsheet thingie -- I've been working on an over 16k liner and all the little numbers are starting to look mysteriously similar.

PPS Nice superpower, I may have experienced it today. Were you in a white pickup today?

I have the ability to understand every pur meow and whine issued forth by the feline inhabitants of our secret headquarters. Uncannily, my bare feet also have the wonderful ability of always finding the puddle of wet cat puke in a dark room.
