I’m in tech sales as a SE. So it’s definitely not important. I’ve been in this job for almost a decade and as an engineer I hate the sales process. I have been skating by for a vast majority of my time in the job simply doing what I need to to “answer the mail.” My customers like me and know I’ll do what they need when they need it, but I’m not banging on doors to make the sale. The account has been successful the entire time I’ve been working it and my company pays me buckets of money. I think I’m proud of my work-to-income ratio but not of anything I actually do as part of the job.

I answer some emails, sit on calls while playing video games, and point people at other people to get answers. It’s mindless and boring and I’ll do it as long as they’ll let me.

Daikon do! Some varieties of radish go from seed to “ready to harvest” in as little as 3 weeks. They’re also great for nutrient cycling and breaking up dense soils in preparation for other plantings, Daikon does a particularly good job as they grow deeper than many varieties. Even when planted around other things they grow low to the ground so they rarely directly compete for light.

I normally plant at least 2 waves of radishes in my garden to start and end the season.

My experience is quite different. I have 4 puppos and we have practiced “lining up” with each in their place as they wait for their meals. I release them with a simple “Okay” and they know the difference between that and “Ohhhhhhtay” and “Ohio” or “Oahu.”

These examples differ a bit from what you said but I think dogs can differentiate better than we give them credit for sometimes.
