Computer related:
- Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
- Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
- Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.
Buying stuff:
- There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
- Bulk buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
- Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.
The smartest people in the room are the ones who are the most excited by the answer, regardless of who answers it. You see them say “I don’t know but I’ll find out” and watch them pull someone who might know.
That was gonna be my follow up, do an effort to follow up even if it’s just for your own knowledge. I love not knowing stuff because it means I get to find out, my family and girlfriend always call me smart but I’m not, I just take the extra step to find out stuff where people would usually drop it. Even if I just make a note on my phone to follow up for later.
