Why Working For Yourself Rocks Reason #2 - Learning New Skills

Sure, we're working on programs on an everyday basis for one of the most technical pieces of hardware on the planet. It's a pretty sweet gig and we're super smart, you know, making unbelievable applications using multi-touch, Cocoa, objective-c, NSLocalizedStrings, GPS locations, and tons of other technical stuff you mere mortals could never understand.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that I came into today with no idea as to how our dishwasher works. Let's be fair. This is a new dishwasher that hasn't been in our house too long. I've never used it before and when I'm at school, I have no need for a dishwasher other than a wet dish rag and soap.
Take a look at that picture there my friends. That is what may would consider to be the ultimate dishwashing and it was all done by yours truly. You've gotta learn how to work independently and take on new tasks. It's quality work like what you see above that separates the winners from the losers in life, so now you can see why I'm the most successful person I know.
