What's your super power?

Internal clock. Works flawlessly 95% of the time.

Yeah, I really have nothing going. Lol.

Causing destruction and mayhem wherever I go?? Right now I've pulled everything out of my closet and onto the bed. Not sure where we will sleep tonight. Once destruction and mayhem is done, I should have an organized closet. Then it will be on to the spare room, or maybe the laundry room.

This is why I'm hesitant to leave the house for more than an eight hour workday.

I have a decent internal clock. Though I have been known (and am often reminded) that I occasionally slip.

I like to drive and (like to think) I'm fairly good at it. I don't do other stuff in traffic. I drive and watch what's going on around me.

My sense of direction is such that I don't get lost. Puzzled on occasion? Sure. I figure it out though.

When flying, I can most times identify landmarks.

Consonant with the previous three I can read a map. Road map, topo map, aerial navigation map, marine map, star chart. I read maps by the time I was eight and dad designated me the navigator on road trips.

I envy Jane Doe's!

Internal GPS. I very rarely get disoriented in a new city. Used to make the other crewmember flabbergasted. I have however recently purchased a portable GPS just to make getting to a specific address a little quicker.

Also, like Jane Doe, I seem to be able to function and deal with a crisis. Maintenance shop next door, i walked in with one of our clients, and noticed avgas running out the rear of a small plane the engineer was working on, he had his head and shoulders in the plane, just as i shouted "fuel leak" to him, he made an electrical spark, and boom, up the fumes and fuel went. This plane was inside, and parked under another plane's fuel-filled wing - i had a mental picture of how bad it could get if it weren't put out right away. I knew he kept extinguishers just outside the doors, so dashed and grabbed one, and had most of the fire extinguished as recovered from jumping/getting blown off the wing. He had grabbed another one by his desk in front of the plane and finished the bit still burning at the front. Thankfully, other than singed eyebrows and hair, and a bit of a "sunburn" on his face, he was fine. The other person helping him, and the client i had walked in with, hadn't moved from where they stood-all over in probably 30 seconds.
Same thing with injured people, animals, car accidents. its the weirdest feeling, its almost like this sense of calm descends and you can clearly see what needs to be done right now, and what can wait a minute. time also seems to slow, its almost like someone has thrown an invisible muffling cloak over everything-you don't get distracted by noise or confusion around you. there is no emotion, other than to try and reassure others. Its very draining afterwards though.

Yowser, Scoutpout, good thing it didn't all go up more quickly. I guess it would have if not for you.

Hmmm, I'm pretty good at directions, internal GPS too. So is the OH. BUT, he has to read a map by rotating it so the direction he wants to go is always "north." I have to have North held to the top. I mentally rotate the map but if I look at it his way I get all discombobulated.

Exactly! Nothing else is happening at the time and always with the nap later. I always narrate to my husband. "I see it" when something comes off of someone's car or "Calling 911" or "Don't move. You broke something" and all very calm while I'm doing whatever needs to be done. It must be a chemical that gets released. I'm going to look that up.
