It's only been a couple of weeks, but I think I'm getting the hang of this. Somewhat. I have learned a few tips and tricks along the way, which I'd like to share with all of you:
- Part-time schedules are for suckers. They mean that you get less money and less time to do the same amount of work.
- I am a sucker. Despite point number 1, I willingly slog through the mountains of work while living for those blessed Wednesdays with my Peanut.
- It is possible to cram twelve pounds of crap into a five pound bag if you're really determined and don't mind getting a bit messy.
- Planning ahead really works. Who knew?
- Sometimes it's ok to raid the rainy day fund when it's only partially cloudy.
- If it doesn't result in a trip to the ER, an overdrawn checking account, an insurance claim, or an involuntary change in employment status, you're doing it right.
- An effective way to exceed expectations is to lower the expectations.
- Bonus points are rarely, if ever, awarded for suffering in silence or taking one for the team.
- Being Terribly Busy does not make me Terribly Important, or Terribly Smart. Often it just makes me Terrible.
- Smile when you say no, and try to say it every day.
- Guilt is for sissies.
