lessons learned in corporate life

some older staff members will share overly personal life details, such as their wife going through menopause, or their recent bouts of kidney stones AND constipation.

carrying a key fob automatically makes you feel important.


if a person feels something isn't appropriate for ladies' ears he can simply cover said ladies' ears with his hands.  (....apparently)


being cold and being cold in a dress are two very different things.


overall, stock brokers are pretty cranky.


if the elevator doors open i immediately exit, assuming it's my floor. it usually isn't.


small town life has not adequately prepared me for the technicalities of a world filled with escalators and revolving doors. i'm hesitant to use both.


i will eat anything that is consistently in front of me. i don't even like peanut m&ms, but since there's a jar of them on my desk i eat a minimum of 12 every day.


given my longtime phobia of being walked in on in the bathroom, needing a key to access the facilities is incredibly reassuring.

  1. Haha, no revolving door or escalators in Malad? And needing a key to get into the John is PERFECT for you! That job is straight from God himself. Makes sense, since it's a run by the church...
