What is the newest skill you have acquired?

Excellent question. Now if I just had an answer. I suppose I've finally learned how to be more tactful in my quest to say what's on my mind. That's a skill isn't it? I've always been able to speak my mind, but up until a couple of years ago, I didn't know how to do so in a tactful manner.

It has honestly been so long since I've acquired a skill that I can't remember. I learned, in theory, how to take soil samples last night over dinner but I haven't yet tested out whether or not I actually know how.

The big bad computer at work. They've finially trained me on it.  Although I don't know how much of a skill it is. Putting up with bullshit is a practicularly fine skill of mine and I seem to be doing alot of it lately.
