Don't go to college, Kanye was right.
When I was in college I thought they were going to teach me everything I'd need to know for my job. I've almost been here 1 year and I’ve realized there are a few things they forgot to teach me.
Vocab:
-Words like "goblity gook" "boondoggle" and "busy" are used weekly here. I have no idea what they mean.
Etiquette:
-Learning how to kindly blow off the guy who wants to talk to you for an hour about his guns and dogs, when you are the most busy.
-How to make it seem like you are busy.
-Who to ask for more staples vs. knowing who will do your stapling for you.
-And how to transition a conversation about guns and dogs to regression models (or what ever work you are doing).
Appearance:
(since I wear a uniform this won't apply to everyone...) It may be much more comfortable to go to work in sweats and change at work, but then everyone you commute with regularly will think you are a janitor, potentially even the cute guy on the bus.
family:
-People with kids know where the "way back" to their car is, single people don't have a "way back".
-Men admit their kids art may not be so good and hang it anyway, but Moms always say it is beautiful (and mean it).
Look for more supplemental lessons next year.

First thought: why does "kids art" have a link? That is an oddly funny link that it brings you to. Second thought: This was much easier to read with out you talking the whole time I'm trying to read it (and funnier...way back HAHA). Geez, theartist (I hope you don't mind I used your nick name online where everyone can see).
Ok Sirena, I think when you make notes of patients diets and charts, you should just write, "terrible, F!"
~ho
You can't swallow!!??!! Total F!
I would tell that person, "I don't want your red back pack, pink nalgene, blue shoes!!"
That's awful, F!
