Stuff you've learnt the hard way

After 40, bumbles don't bounce.

So true. So true.

Never make a flippant remark about a client who "no longer has a plane" before doing your homework to make sure they didn't lose loved ones when that plane crashed. (oh.... that was truly AWFUL)

Oh. My. God.

Here's mine from yesterday: before turning the Nalgene bottle upside down to shake it and mix the Crystal light, double check to be sure the lid is actually ON. (Got a lap full of drink at my desk yesterday. Fortunately it didn't hit my laptop.

And from a Christmas party last year: Before resting your full red wine glass on the vanity sink and letting go of it to go to the bathroom, be sure the sink surface is LEVEL. (The glass slipped into the sink and bounced the contents out all over and that bathroom looked like a murder scene: red wine all over the cream colored walls. )
