What have you learned? - Page 16

Chad · 01-09-2016, 04:15 PM

I have learned that when I am at work or in public I am an extrovert but when I am home or just alone I act more like an introvert. I need my down time to recharge.

I took the test at work and I tested as a ESTJ. Well, that matches me at work.

I have learned that money does not buy happiness, however it sure does help!! And I have also learned that even tho I might hate my job, there are plenty of people I know without a job, so I better be glad I have a job to hate.

girlin2une · 01-16-2016, 12:41 PM

Definitely all the rage...and my daughter's favourite thing to play with these days!

Using too much conditioner in the shower is hard to fully wash out of my hair!

kittygrrl · 01-22-2016, 11:20 PM

happiness comes in small bites

Sometimes it's better to be friends than lovers!

Barbell squats are bad for my knees and I need to adapt my training regime to reflect this annoying fact.

JDeere · 01-23-2016, 02:44 AM

Buying Men's products and learning they work just as well as Women's products on my skin.

jools66 · 01-23-2016, 05:14 AM

That the people who truly love you will always be there for you.
No matter if you are sad, happy, or. Even wanting to retreat into yourself for a while.
So the lesson learned is to reach out to ppl you have really lost touch with, and have really thought of as a true friend.
We are stronger if we stand and support each other.

JustLovelyJenn · 01-23-2016, 11:35 AM

Painkillers and xanax are wonderful some days...

gotoseagrl · 01-23-2016, 12:42 PM

A neat trick. The sound of air kisses wakes a sleepy BullDog's eyes whenever they close in the middle of working so hard.

Gayandgray · 01-24-2016, 04:07 PM

That people will say one thing, then turn around and do something totally different. A person's word used to be all u needed. It was binding and legal. Now I'm realizing that you really can't trust people anymore. Not all people, just some.

Jar · 01-24-2016, 04:43 PM

I've learned that getting older is pretty cool. The filters are almost completely gone and you become more aware of your self worth and less prone to put up with unhealthy bullshit. It's easier to see through people so you know when they're being sincere and when they're trying to sell you crap you don't need. It becomes more about what makes you happy so you're less prone to let things into your life that'll threaten that

kittygrrl · 06-10-2016, 02:10 PM

keep your friends close, your enemies as far away as humanely possible!

Blade · 06-15-2016, 08:00 AM

I've learned that although I appreciate having health insurance and short/long term disability provided by my company, actually that is all that is provided. I have learned that you have to jump threw hoops every week to continue getting paid. It would just be easier to work than do all this crap every week. It's not right to have people jumping threw hoops when they can't get around. What do people do when they are completely disabled, say stroke, heart surgery etc

MysticOceansFL · 06-15-2016, 08:28 AM

Still learning every day.

Gayandgray · 06-16-2016, 08:14 PM

I have learned that a lot of people are all about themselves. They don't want to do anything if there isn't something in it for them. They are very good at taking, but not so good at giving......

LOQUI · 06-17-2016, 12:59 AM

...not much apparently

Blade · 06-17-2016, 10:19 AM

I've learned that some things in life are circumstantial and temporary. Some things are from our own poor or good choices.

Life is what you make it, you can make fun out of hardships and sometimes hardships out of fun. It's all about choices, I choose to have fun. Mostly...

kittygrrl · 07-18-2016, 12:24 PM

from Google today..
1. Do not begin eating until everyone at table is seated and served and hostess begins (learned this when 5 years old)
2. Keep off (the table) everything not related to food.
3. Don't text at the table (Sorta recently, when my husband looked at me and said "Really?"

4. What to do if youre not drinking wine. Do not turn your glass over. Simply put your fingers on rim of your glass and say "No thank you, not tonight" This implies no judgement for those at the table who are having wine.
5. Speakerphone etiquette: Let a person know they are on speakerphone. Do not turn on a speakerphone in a roomful of people unless it's a business meeting. Do not use speakerphone to go thru your voicemail

(guilty, but learned the hard way)
6. How to get the door for someone-whoever arrives there first, opens it (unless youre a Princess)

7. Work Kitchen Microwave etiquette: Don't microwave stinky food

8. How to behave on an elevator-Hold the door open for others before entering.
9. Email etiquette: Don't send an email that just says "Thanks" If all you have to say is "thanks". Refrain from sending it. Youre just clogging an inbox.
10. Other phone no-nos: When you are speaking with someone in real time, do not glance down at your phone to see who is trying to reach you. Restrict hours you business text. and lastly....
11. Shield your lemon (with your hand, as you squeeze it into your tea, so it doesn't, perchance, squirt inadvertently your dining companion's eye)
