Really great at a meaningless job. Not that I think that would be wonderful but I think the other option would be awful.

If I was barely adequate at my job, whatever it was, it would be extremely stressful. Why would I want that?

And if the job was something important to me (i.e. meaningful) I would want it done well, even if that was by someone other than me.
