Life Lesson #55
If you're going to be a girl and cry at work, at least have pink tissues to wipe your snotty nose.
Life Lesson #42
I have learned that sometimes leaving work early and blowing off responsibilities like paying rent and grocery shopping can be life saving. Literally.
A fitting, and appropriate Life Lesson for today.

Life Lesson #23
All you really have to do is outlast the assholes. Which, when translated into pep talk-ese, is roughly equivalent to "Hang in there!" (insert image of a cute little kitten hanging by a claw...above an abyss).
Life Lesson #16
As this is the first blog of the new year, and I have determined that 2012 will be the Year of Workplace Ambition, I think that this is a fitting Life Lesson:
It is never too early to start ass kissing.

End of Year Detritus
So I realized today that there haven't been any new Life Lessons for the month of December 2011. Rather than have my 2 faithful followers (big shout out to Clark!) believe that I am slacking in my blog writing/life lesson duties, I thought I would write down a few of my thoughts and other odds and ends I've learned as we wrap up 2011. And as I wait for the Lunesta to kick in.
Sometimes you find the life lesson, and sometimes the life lesson finds you. This month is a perfect example of that. And if I don't write them down immediately in my handy iPhone, I will most likely forget them.
You have to set boundaries with some people.
I am totally in love with my absolutely outrageously expensive Rimowa suitcase and have no regrets about buying it. In fact, I love it so much, I would marry it, but I'd probelly have to go to Vegas for that. And we all know how well my last Vegas wedding turned out.
Crown and Dr Pepper is actually a pretty decent beverage.
I also feel like this is the proper forum for declaring my personal goal for 2012: Stop fucking with people just because I'm bored. This is a very bad habit of mine (shocking I know!). And by "fucking with" I actually mean "mindfucking" "manipulating" "poking with the proverbial stick" and/or "otherwise toying with for my own amusement." And by "people" I actually mean "boys." Yes, I know this is one of my special talents. I know it guards against early onset dementia by keeping the mind agile. And yes, it also provides an endless source of amusement and entertainment for my friends and I. But, referring to Aunt Jessie's Life Lesson #36 , we've already established that boys are stupid. So it's not really a fair match, and more importantly, think of all the energy I'll conserve!
Yes, I can see some of you shaking your heads (others weeping in relief), and I know it'll be a work in progress. Old habits (especially the fun ones) die hard, but I'm going to give it a shot.
