What I learned since July 10, 2009

  1. The whole “every disappointment is a blessing” is cliche 9 times out of 10 - the one occasion it is not more than makes up for all the other times…
  2. Above a certain level of pay,  autonomy and a sense of truly contributing are the most important considerations for job satisfaction….. for me..
  3. People usually mean well when they try to commiserate - most of the time they just need to shut the fuck up.
  4. Brooke Fraser’s Shadowfeet is the coolest song ever….
  5. Every bloke needs a bizzle - the one chic who has the guts to give it to you straight from the hips ( no double etendre there). It’s always helpful to get your ego brought down a notch or two.
  6. The ladder theory works - however sad - blokes just need to get with the program.
  7. Female bosses are so not it - woe betide you if you have a Technical review when its that time of the month - red ink everywhere… sigh..
