I have learned that sometimes, even when you think you're not doing something, you are doing it.
...that even though clients *say* they have great credit history, this is not always true and you may spend 4 days trying to get them approved on finance, because they have a gazillion defaults.
[vent over!!]
....so that means that you have learnt that you live in a sick society , based on humble people being pushed and suckered through the credit machine .
Who has a gazillion defaults ?
Have you also learnt that the humilating credit check-ups , and then the relief ( great we can take home that fucking obscene green nylon sofa and be really thankful to be able to pay for it over the next twenty years ) are behind your salary . A crap salary no doubt , but you have been mindwashed into thinking you are a 'manager' by the powers -that-be .
The greatest laugh of all is that you THINK YOU LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY .
You have all learnt the greatest lesson of
all . There is no poetry , only when you are going to dig the swimming pool to be like the neighbours .
The wife you wished you had never married and who looks like an orange twig will open the booze .
Booze for everyone . Not to much to be rude , just enough to think it is interesting to stick a few crap sausages on the end of a stick .

Fun drinks , fun barbecue , really fun to be in Australia .

I really don't like Halloween. It's such a weird custom that has gone way beyond what is originally meant. Now it's just as commercial as everything else.

aren't
all holidays way past their initial intent?

Haven't they all? I mean, why hate Halloween any more than any other holiday?
Today I learned exactly what goulash is, and it looks pretty tasty.
Well yeah.. most holidays are played out, just with tomorrow being Halloween and I learned that I'm really tired of playing the game. I don't want to go answer the door 80 times in one evening.
I have learned that I'm very glad to be Australian - where halloween isn't celebrated at all hardly. :)
That life's hard. Even harder if you're stupid.
Thank you Redd Foxx.
I have learned, that even though you do what you love and would do it for free, bosses are still a$$holes.
I have learned not to think of my boss as an arsehole - since he's married to my cousin.
I have learned that while conservatives in general seem to have their heads fairly well embedded up their arseholes, there are times when some do extricate themselves from their precariously dark position.
Wow I take that personally Ali - hey anybody got a towel?
I came to the cellar with an issue - now I have learned that I have many many issues.
You do yesman? Is that because it's still dark or because you can now see the light? ;)
I have learned......that everything I think I have learned should be forgotten.
Well Ali - to tell you the truth - I am not really sure, but the fact that I have "many" issues was disconcerting at first. Now I see that my issues aren't really all that bad anyway - I'm learn-ing that its who l am and thats OK.
I have learned that yesman may be more compassionate than I first thought. ;)
I have learned nothing......
(guess its a dung-beetle for me next time round...)
.....but, looking on the bright-side, I guess its still better than being down-under....
Well I guess that would depend what ( or who ) you were down-under... Now Wouldn't it ???
I have learned that it's much better to live down under than to be a stinky pomm. :)
OK...what's a pomm???
Person from England as referred to by a person from Australia.
Known for their extensive wingeing, soap aversion and second rate cricketing abilities! :p
Thank you, and please bear with me here...what is wingeing?
wingeing = whine, whine, whine, bellyache, bellyache, bellyache.
One of the good thinga about pommie buggers is they have a similar sense of humour to us aussies and...well....Robbie Williams :love: :heartpump :doit:
Well, not too be too annoying with the questions, I googled RW...and yes, he's really hot, even if he uses more hairspray than I do.
ohhh yes, he's super shaggable!!! A few of us Aussie girls are off to see him in December.
He always reveals the hotel he is staying at during his concert, so you know where I will be afterwards :)
Wow Ali - I thought I was a compassionate person - Oh well guess l can ad that to my list now too. Great, something else l get to work on, as if l needed another issue :eyebrow:
I have learned that some people are just plain mean.
Shawnee123 - Are you referring to me?
NO no no! Not at all. You're a good egg, yesman! :)
Oh I was gonna say. . . . I have been feeling a little on edge lately, and thought I may have offended you in some way. OH well here goes. . . .
. . . . that I am "a good egg"

Nah, I'm edgy too, and you don't typically cold shoulder me. Anyhoo, what did the blue highlighted part mean? I'm a bit slow on the uptake today.
What I learned. I am trying to learn something positive everyday and I chose your words for today
See, I was being dense.
It's good to learn or do something positive everyday. I am trying that myself.
A few years ago I made a New Year's resolution much different than the typical "lose weight" "stop smoking" "quit stabbing people in the grocery line" resolutions that none of us EVER keep. I decided to make it a point to compliment people to their boss if I get good service, or write something nice on a comment card. That year, I wrote a comment card at the grocery about some young man who had been out of his way kind, and multitudes more. It has since become a way of life. I think I"ve always been a nice person for the most part, but to make a conscious attempt to show others I appreciate them really brought some good things out.
So, these days I still do that. I wrote a nice email to one of our IT guys for his efficient and painless switchover to my new computer. I courtesy copied to his boss. In our institution it is known as "valuing people" initiative, and I know how I feel when I am appreciated and recognized.
These are positive actions that make me feel good, no matter how freaking goofy my own life is right now. :)
That is awesome - I think I'll follow your lead. It is so hard in this negative environment where I work to remain upbeat. Anyway, I like the idea and I'm goin with it.
I learned to not close bedroom door on a cold morning, to raise heat in other rooms. Then forgetting to open before bed time. BRrrr!

The end.
I have learned that *some* 15 year old girls are not much different to 4 year olds.
I also learned that putting make up on when its 40+ degrees c, is a big waste of time.
I have learned that I enjoy 70 degree weather much more than 10 degree weather with snow and wind.
I have learned that time slips away when perusing the Cellar, and that I'll have to stay late tonight (New Year's Eve) to make it up.
I have learned that good service is hard to find.
I have learned that it's not easy to be a non-conformist, even in an internet community without many rules.
heck drax, look at radar! then again look at all of us, we are probably all outside the social norms. Thats why the cellar rocks!
I have learned that Drax feels a bit on the outter after recent discussions.
I have also learned that it doesn't matter what anyone else says, you just have to follow your own path anyway. You don't have any other choice.

I have learned that it's best to refrain from introspection when depressed. This is not a new lesson...I learn it anew each time I realise I am depressed:P Realising it = first step out of it.
How do you realise you're depressed if you don't introspect? :p
I have learned that some people are idiots.
I was made aware of
this game, and scored a not wholly satisfactory mid to high 90s on each try. So I went off and played those drag and drop state/country.province games (
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/), and now I can do this: (you think that looks a doddle -you try :p)
Damn, that's hard. Part of the problem is that the map is so small on my monitor, but the main problem is that I'm daft.
I got to level 6, with 28,224 points. Africa killed me.
By the time you learn them, they'll have changed.
That sometimes thread games work too well when you post them on a board full of eager GenXers.
true dat. I was all "what the hell is this huge country Myanmar and how come I haven't heard of it before.....?" Wondered if it appeared from under the sea due to global warming....
Burma.
(My dad was a geography teacher, so until now I have made a point of completely ignoring the subject where at all possible. But now I can place all 50 states and name their capitals. Haven't got a hope with British counties, though ;) -I can even place the Canadian territories and all the countries in Africa and the middle East. Micronesia and that region is not so good.)
eta: Hmm, I thought I was adding this post as an edit to the last one, but apparently not. FAIL.
