What Did You Learn This Week?

Just because you work with them, doesn't mean you have to like them. That is what ive learned.
 
I've learned that I should have bought a sledge months ago. Doesn't even have to be on the snow and Jake will happily sit it in all day long, getting out only to have a nappy change before climbing back in, pulling the blanket over himself and laughing quietly.
 
Building alternative houses. Who wants to be loaned money for an ugly $500,000 dog kennel in some crap suburb or apartment when you can build a house for about $200,000 in any natural environment that powers itself,grows food and collects water so you will never need to pay for bills? Some of them look incredible, inside and out and can withstand alot more damage then the crap we build today.
 
I learned how to knock on a stranger's door. MUCH harder to do than you might think. Being a journalism student, I need to write articles for class which simply can not be made up or based on research alone. Thankfully, people really tend to open up to you once you tell them you're writing an article....then shut you out again when they find out it's an article that'll be turned into a professor rather than printed.

I can imagine that being incredibly difficult, at least you are not selling products.I wouldn't even be able to build the courage to be a telemarketer.
 
I learned that I knew something a 65 year old retired teacher didn't know. This pleases me...

Exactly. Even though I'm not a telemarketer I've been dealing with those people my whole life. I realize just how irritating it can be to have someone invade your privacy with an agenda. Some people will mind less if they find out you're a journalist and only want to ask them about very touchy or personal things, which is somewhat baffling. There's always the chance that they will say "F*** YOU" and slam the door in your face, but when you realize that that's the worse that could happen, it's much easier to do. By and large I think people like the idea that they're important enough to get some spotlight and like the thought that they'll be mentioned in a publication. :P
 
Oh it was nothing - seriously. I just gave her an answer to a crossword and she swore blind the word didn't exist. It was "nettled" - she'd never heard it used before. Just makes me think like I get to pretend to be slightly smart for a change :P
 
learned that it's not a good idea to go to level 10 on the cross trainer whilst on iron man mode..... never again!
 
That there's apparently a theory in feminist studies pertaining to women in construction called the B(tch-Dyke-Whore cycle. If you're a woman in construction your perceived as being either a b!tch who just has something to prove or who wants to start an unfair harassment lawsuit against some poor unsuspecting construction worker, a dyke and thus you don't fit into pre-established gender roles and are non-threatening to masculinity, or a whore, in that the only reason you are working in construction is to either find a husband or get laid.

Okay.

Okay.
Twisted system we live in.

I learned I accidently bought a womans shirt instead of a mans. It was that "gorillaz" shirt. This is what happens when your in a hurry or impatient.

*Goddamn headdesk*.

Okay.

Yeah it's sexist, but it's not isolated to women. Apart from looking for a job that's well-paying or otherwise rewarding, those are a lot of the reasons anyone would look for work in any type of labor. Example? Guys working at beauty salons. I rest my case.
