Have you ever been in a position of assumption? I feel like that should be a separate title that comes with pay or at least some type of compensation. A little something for my trouble. In one job they call it an ‘Special Experience Identifier’ or SEI for short but you weren’t always paid.

An SEI is just a special set of skills or skill that isn't used everyday but once you got it, it is invaluable. Okay moving on.

I have been endowed or trained with many special experience identifiers but none has been greater than the one of assumption. I’m the oldest of the kids, so it is assumed I know better - but it’also my first time on earth. I am seen in my military garb and it is assumed that I am in the army or if I say the branch then I fly planes and asked when can I fly them some place - please save me. Picture me breaking me breaking the fourth wall during these instances.

My favorite assumption is the one of ‘you’ve done it before’ and I am filled with a list of items to complete by someone who is just clocking my untapped talents in real time. Something I am oblivious too as I yap. I have not mastered the art of feign ignorance, so now I have learned to not say anything. Not give all my talents away.

In turn, I am assumed not to be very useful and their is that fourth wall again.
