I only have a ton of books piled up to read and a few essays to write along with a load of songs to transcribe and...

Always check the toilet paper roll before you sit down, and keep a backup roll stashed away somewhere (and don't tell the roomates).

+1 on rainx. that stuff really works fantastically well.
I don't have any other gems. I think the whole "say I love you" type comments aren't in the spirit of the original poster, who I think was more interested in practical things - like how to dispose of a body using pigs, etc. |

If you need 8 hrs sleep anytime, get an eye mask, some ear plugs and a white noise generator.
A DIY white noise generator: put your FM dial at the beginning or end of the dial, cut the treble and turn it up.
This also helps if you have roommates and you have to study when they are around. Quote: |
- Use your parking brake. It saves wear on your transmission.
| When a car needs to be parked (to keep the trans from resting on the drive shaft).
1) keep foot on the brake
2) put the car in neutral
3) engage the parking brake
4) take foot off the brake
5) let the car settle
6) put the car in Park.
When leaving, if I'm on an incline:
1) put on the foot brake
2) disengage the parking brake
3) put the car in Drive.
That way, the car won't be resting on the transmission.
This is especially important when parking on a hill. If your car clunks when you put it in gear, then it has been resting on the tranny.
If you following these directions, it won't clunk when putting it in gear. Saves a lot of wear and tear on your tranny.

They'll go flying over your back and probably flip over, giving you time to get away. If you really want to flip them, as they go over your back, stand up as fast as you can and give them a good look at the world upside down.
If someone grabs your wrist, quickly swing your arm up in front of you in a circle (wax on) and twist your wrist.

When something needs to be done, you take the initiative to speak with your superiors about it. If you're having difficulty with a piece of equipment, or something hinders you from doing your job, speak to them about it, complain about things that hinder you from doing your job at a peak level.
Don't ever complain about what your job actually is, THAT will get you fired.

His condition just wouldn't let him drop it and they let him go. IMHO they just should have tried to satisfy him. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have doing ACAD drawings than an anal retentive neat freak with OCD.
I really miss that guy. His work was always right!
I've never been one to complain, but I did learn to shut up and keep my head down.
