8 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was in College
Since Matt tagged me with a morph of my original meme, I figure I’d answer the tag with a morph once more ;)
8 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was In College.
- You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to do great things at work.
- Be a listener or you will be disliked.
- Slow, measured actions beat quick, spur of the moment ones every time.
- Teaching pays very little in comparison to most other jobs you get student loans for.
- Most people around you have been through what you have been through, so don’t be afraid to talk about stuff.
- Dogs are just a long term handful.
- Kids are totally worth the stress, but they are a big stress. (and a lot of work)
- While gossip and naysaying at work may seem titillating and harmless at first, they can and will cause you much trouble if you let them into your life. Be the hoity-toity no-fun guy/gal who changes the subject.
Off the top of my head, there they are. Thanks Matt. Now for my willing victims (hopefullly!):
- [This Eclectic Life]
- [Life is RANTastic!]
- [MeeAugraphie]
- Some others I haven’t thought of . . . you know who you are!

Awwww, c;mon, dogs are wonderful!!! Lot of work, but they pay you back a million times over!!!!!
When you get a chance, stop by my site. I’ve awarded you a “Rockin’ Boy Blogger” award. I’m all for equality so I said enough of this pink girl stuff and I made a blue one for the boys!!!
