Staffing agencies have unlocked high-paying jobs for which I have the technical skills, but where I lack the "people talents" and connections to even get my foot in the door. Similarly, I am not an excellent chef. I can feed myself, but when I am entertaining others we eat out. This isn't about being lazy; this is about an inability or very poor ability to do something, and outsourcing that ability to another human. If you don't want to be at the party, that's fine, but don't rain on our party night.
