so many lessons learned

I brainstormed for about five minutes and came up with these, but in the future I'll have less. So these are things I learned the hard way, or almost learned the hard way.

it's harder than you think to find an available blog title. "things i learned the hard way" and "lessons i learned the hard way" were already taken. "stuff i learned the hard way" was available, but really? Stuff? I don't think I'm a fan of that word.

sometimes roommates might not get your sarcasm. and then they'll get angry at you.

if you don't provide appropriate forms of ID for I9 forms, you won't get your paychecks. even if you've almost worked there for two months. you're still not getting paid yet.

if you have a hoarse voice, your singing sounds even worse than normal. you should probably just not sing at all.

when you buy a dozen eggs then drop the bag, they'll break. and then ooze all over your hands. and the counter at customer service. that cardboard carton doesn't work wonders like you think it would.

when you take a 10 hour car ride through las vegas and the surrounding desert in august without air conditioning, it's even hotter and sweatier than you think it will be. the betta fish in your back seat might die of overheating.

if your hair is exceptionally greasy so you put baby powder in it to make it look clean, you might end up walking around all day with a huge white, not fully rubbed it, chunk of baby powder filled hair.

jumping into a pool with all your clothes on is not all its cracked up to be. even if you pose for the camera trying to make it look like it was oodles of joy.



if you're holding really heavy things in your hands and attempt to put them in the freezer, you might try to open the door for five minutes, end up breaking off the handle, then finally putting the heavy items down only to discover there is a lock on the freezer door that you couldn't see at first.

if you have a three gallon pot of beans and you're trying to get the beans into one gallon bags, it's probably not the best idea to pour the beans into the bags. scoop them in with a ladle or something.
