Hi Aine (sorry I don't know how to do that thing over the "A")
I know exactly what you mean. I work with someone right now who's got finger dexterity to burn, and I can't help but say "ok, now try THIS!" Drives them nuts at times but I know this person likes a challenge...and they're improving rapidly. Wouldn't do that with most folks though!
The closest I ever came to earning what a CEO (or employed security guard) would get was when I worked 6 nights a week at the Royal York Hotel. Just blew it on antique instruments, antequarian books and lobster dinners!
