The 16 Things I learned at my first job

The summer that I was sixteen-years-old I ventured out into my quickly expanding suburban town to find my first job. There was a large plaza being built at that time and in that plaza sat a brand, spanking, new McDonald’s. I walked in, wearing my favorite khaki skirt and a blue and white striped shirt with my most responsible face on, and applied for a position. I appreciate each and everyday that I worked at that job, because it has taught me much of what has made me successful today.

1. No matter what job you have in life, you always have the opportunity to have a bit of fun. Those late nights closing up with other high school kids from other area high schools were fun nights. We laughed and joked and got into trouble. This made it the perfect first job. Your job is as fun as you make it.
2. Never order lemons at a restaurant. I know many people say this, but looking back on my time in the food service industry, I know that not everyone washed the lemons before cutting them. That means that those lemons were picked, transported, packed, shipped, opened, possibly dropped and passed to someone else, cut, and put into your drink…without being washed. Think about how many hands touched that lemon…gross. I think we could trace all flu pandemics back to lemons, rather than swine or birds. Just saying…
3. Manners go a long way. No matter what type of business you are patronizing, use manners. Please and Thank-you.
4. Use caution when referring to someone as “ma-am.” The first time a small child called me “ma-am” was at that counter. I immediately understood why many of my customers hated to be called “ma-am.” It sounds old. Sometimes it is appropriate, just use it very carefully.
5. Never allow yourself to be a part of workplace drama. Drama ran deep at this job, and once you fell in, it was difficult to recover.
6. No matter what a person promises you, if you tell a co-worker a secret, assume that he or she will share it with other co-workers. Gossip runs through the workplace like a woman in a shoe store. Once it starts, there is no stopping it and there will be collateral damage.
7. I learned that I was not always as nice as I thought I was…especially to one guy in particular, who I dated during my time at this job. If you by any chance are reading this…I am sorry…I really was not very nice to you while we dated. Which leads to…
8. Never date someone with whom you must work closely. It can lead to disaster. (Trust me…)
9. Managing people does not translate to stomping around and barking orders. No one will respect you and no one will work for you.
10. Every industry has people who I like to refer to as “lifers.” If you do not wish to work in this industry forever, work hard. Bust your butt. Find out what you would like to do with your life and do it. Never settle for anything less, because you will turn into a bitter miserable person, working in a job you hate, and not qualified to do anything else with your life. The worst part? You will have no one to blame but yourself.
11. If you are not willing to work hard to achieve a goal, you forfeit your right to complain. No one wants to hear how much you hate your job-especially if you are not willing to do the work to change your situation.
12. Never take yourself too seriously.
13. Everything can be corrected. Customers would flip out when a sandwich was made wrong as if world peace was dependent on their chicken sandwich having Big Mac sauce added to it. (um. gross.) Rather than politely telling me that it was done incorrectly (despite the fact that I did enter the order correctly and the people actually making the food made the mistake), they would proceed to scream and yell an cause a scene. Calm down. It can be fixed. It will be fixed. And if you had been nicer to me, I might have thrown you a free bag of cookies or an apple pie for your trouble. But you were rude. So you get nothing.
14. Working is a privilege, not a right. No matter what your job is, you are not doing them any favors by working there. You are providing a service. You are working there in exchange for a paycheck. Keep your attitude to yourself. And if you hate your job? Quit. Find a new one. You’re not qualified to find a new one? Be thankful you even have a job in difficult times.
15. The amount of oil and grease used in fast food restaurants is literally unbelievable. I mean…you think you know how bad it is. You have no idea until you have slid across the floor of a McDonald’s kitchen and landed on your behind, covering yourself in the grossness of the floor. I think if I had burned my uniform after my last day, it would have caused a grease fire that could have potentially taken out the state of Pennsylvania.
16. I also learned what type of manager I wanted to be in life. I knew at some point I would be managing people in a future job, and I never wanted to use that authority to deliberately hurt others as I had been in the past. One manager in the restaurant wanted to date the guy who happened to be dating me. (Oh-high school drama! How I miss thee…not really) She used her pull in the store to convince another high school kid to “trip” and spill an entire chocolate milkshake on me while I was walking to the bathroom. At the time, I nervously laughed it off and tried to keep a sense of humor about it. But I was hurt! Why would someone want to hurt my feelings like that? As I wiped the freezing cold milkshake off of my shirt and pants, I wept silently in the bathroom. It seemed SO mean! So awful! However, looking back on it, how sad was that person? She was in her 20′s and paid a high school boy to humiliate a high school girl who she was supposed to be managing! In the aftermath of “Milkshake Gate,” I learned that some people are hard-wired for drama and jealousy.

At the end of the day, I am grateful for those several years at the golden arches. I would never return there to work…no matter how much you paid me-but I would also never trade my time there and the lessons I learned for anything in the world.

What did you learn at your first job?

Cheers.

It’s the thought that counts

Merry Christmas Everyone! With the most wonderful time of the year upon us, many of you are scrambling to finish your Christmas shopping. Getting something perfect for everyone without going broke can be a difficult task. There is your family, your friends, your boo…not to mention co-workers, the mail man, the nanny, and everyone else you would like to give something to. Here are a few crowd-
pleasing, yet cost-effective gifts to give to all of the people in your life!

Pashminas

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for a beautiful scarf. I have quite the collection and always seem to find a reason to buy a new one! Pittsburgh’s Strip District has a wide array of street vendors carrying many gift options-one of them being pashmina-scarves! Yesterday after work I stopped by one of these vendors. Lucy’s Handmade Clothing Shop is a small store on Penn Avenue.  In the store you’ll find adorable hats, gorgeous jewelry, and of course, pashminas! I stopped in to get a specific color scarf as a gift and was unable to find it. I searched the racks outside of the store on the sidewalk. No luck. I looked inside at rack after rack of scarves. Nothing.
Before admitting defeat, I asked Lucy if she had this color. She asked if I had checked upstairs.

Upstairs??
I had no idea there was an upstairs! I went up and sure enough, there was the color I sought! I also found a fabulous gray scarf and a black scarf with white chain print for myself. I love them so much and the recipient will love hers as well! The best part? These scarves were only 3 of $18. Great deal. You could get a scarf for all of your girlfriends at the office or for your nanny, your hairdresser, and your
cousin for less than $20! Thanks for the help, Lucy!

Christmas Ornaments

How can you go wrong with a beautiful ornament? Very Bradley has BEAUTIFUL ornaments that come in sets of 3 for about $30. You can divide them up and give one each to three of your friends. They also come in a three-compartment box, which would be perfect to fill with candy for your Christmas or New Year’s party, or to give to a friend. Maybe you have four friends to buy for and only three ornaments-no worries! Give the box with some chocolates to a friend. Or some trinkets for her desk at work-fill it with tea bags, sugar cubes in a gauze wrapper, and drink stirrers for a tea drinker to place on her desk. Or you could fill it with little lip glosses, nail files, and bobby pins for a co-worker who is always searching
through her purse for her things. Four friend’s gifts for around $35!

You can also go the route of handmade ornaments. My mother makes these beautiful, hand-painted ornaments that are really simple! You buy plain, glass bulb ornaments and open them up. You put paint inside of them and swirl it around. Write the year in a sparkly puffy paint on the outside. Bam. A one-of-
a-kind ornament for your dear friends. You can make a bunch of these for around $25.

Keep Warm with Coco

Head to Costco or Sams Club and get some coco and marshmallows in bulk. Buy a case of mason jars. For under $30 you can make jars of coco with gauze pouches of marshmallows for everyone in the office. Type up a cute little note about staying warm this Christmas on some colorful paper. Easy!

Do It Yourself

Anyone who doesn’t have Pinterest should cry themselves to sleep every night. The Do-it-yourself ideas on that site blow my mind, daily. With the use of some quality glue, a balloon, and an old magazine, you can create this lovely basket that I found on Pinterest.

Roll the magazine pages up into different size circles. Glue them well so that they stay put. Blow up the balloon and begin gluing the magazine circles to the balloon. Ensure that all circles are also glued to the edges of the other circles around them. Let sit for a day or two and then pop the balloon. You will be left with an adorable basket which could hold a small flower pot, artificial flowers without a pot, your mail
before or after it heads to the mail box, combs/brushes, etc. So adorable and handmade! I would LOVE to get this as a gift!

You can also give your favorite girlfriend a Do-it-yourself craft day as a gift. Go get the supplies to make a craft like the one above and pick up some snacks. Spend the day making baskets, gossiping, and snacking!

Do you have any other easy, affordable gifts you’ll be giving? Any Do It Yourself ideas?

Cheers.

Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

I was talking to a friend the other day about her difficult co-workers. She told me about the bad attitudes, backstabbing, and downright deplorable manners that take place everyday where she works. I was appalled! Do adults really act like this? It got me to thinking…is it true what they say? Did I really learn everything that I needed to know in kindergarten? I was reminded of the poem by Robert Fulghum:

Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned:

Share everything.

Play fair.

Don’t hit people.

Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.

Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life.

Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.

Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup — they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: look.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and sane living.

Think what a better world it would be if we all — the whole world — had cookies and milk about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

It all seems so simple, doesn’t it? But the more I read this simple list of things learned in kindergarten, the more I think that if my friend’s co-workers simply followed these rules, they would have a much better work environment.

Don’t get me wrong-I am forever grateful for the opportunity to get a complete college education and to have the valuable work experience that I’ve gained over the years, but even with the bachelor’s degree and the years of experience in the banking industry, without these life lessons, where would I be? And when you encounter someone who CLEARLY did not learn these lessons in kindergarten, don’t you automatically wonder what kind of parents they have? You wonder “Wow. Their mother never taught them how to share. Sad.”

Make your mom and dad proud. Live by these simple rules.

Cheers.

21 things that Barbie taught me

I was a girly-girl growing up. I loved make-up, tap dancing, Cabbage Patch Kids, and of course, every girl’s best friend-Barbie. I had dozens of Barbie dolls. I owned many of her friends and of course, her beau, Ken. Her sisters were well represented, and I owned three-yes three-barbie houses. Barbie’s garage was full with a pink convertible, a red convertible, and a truck, which towed a motor home for trips to the beach. After my Barbies and friends relaxed in the hot tub, they had boxes and boxes and boxes of clothes, shoes, and accessories.

Over the years, Barbie and I have been through a lot. So here is what I learned from the girl who has everything.

1. I am not qualified to cut bangs on anyone. Ever. Sorry Barbie. Which leads me to number two…
2. Be cautious of who you let style your hair. When you purchase a new Barbie, her hair is soft and shiny, but after a few sessions of over-brushing it gets frizzy and dull. Perhaps if I had remembered this lesson, I would not have allowed a new stylist to touch my hair a few weeks ago, and I would not have gotten a wretched haircut that I pray will grow-out quickly.
3. Even the dream house has it’s flaws. The string that lifted my Dream House elevator snapped from overuse and failure to comply with safety inspection standards. There were several casualties. It was a sad day. However, after a bit of reconstruction involving a safety pin, the elevator was repaired and Barbie could again reach her rooftop deck. So even though I have some work to do on my home, it is still my home and with a bit of hard work it will someday be my little dream house.
4. Ken seemed like a perfect man. But then you removed his pants and the secret was revealed. The only perfect man is one who cannot think with his penis…because he hasn’t one.
5. Barbie’s feet are shaped to accommodate high heel shoes, and she cannot stand in them without the help of a friend or a doll stand. I should not feel so bad when my feet hurt after a night out with the girls.
6. Certain fabric should never be ironed…no matter how wrinkly. Read the care labels on clothing. Sorry Barbie.
7. Even the girl who seemingly has everything can lose her head from time to time.
8. Sometimes being in the spotlight all of the time can go to a person’s head. Barbie has all of these awesome friends, yet she is always the star of the show. Where is the Midge Dream House? Or the Christie Pink Convertible? Ego maniac much? Rude.
9. Even the relationships that seem perfect from the outside can have inner turmoil. Barbie and Ken split in 2004. Which leads us to…
10. Everyone is replaceable. Be sure to work hard and make your mark while you can, because just like Ken you could one day be replaced. Which again leads to…
11. Every girl is a sucker for a man with an accent-when Barbie and Ken split, she got with an Aussie named Blaine.
12. True love will always find a way-Barbie kicked Blaine to the curb and got back with Ken after he got a make-over. Either they really loved each other, or Barbie is WAY shallow.
13. Even perfect girls love drama. (see 10-12)
14. There is such a thing as too much make-up. Again…sorry Barbie.
15. Always splurge on the matching shoes. Always.
16. Math class is tough. Party dresses are fun! (Totally joking…this is awful…)
    
17. Material things will never make you feel whole…you will always want more THINGS until you are happy with yourself. Barbie should be content with herself, but she just keeps getting more stuff instead. C’mon girl-be good enough for you and the void will be filled!
18. Love the job you have. Barbie always had a smile on her face as she worked towards finding herself. She tries new careers, and even though she hasn’t found the right job that “sticks,” she still keeps a positive attitude while she walks down that road called life…either that or there is a tiny bottle of Prozac that I never came across.
19. Try everything once. Barbie has a pilot’s license. She has been a teacher. She has been a doctor, an astronaut, and she has driven in Nascar. Nothing will stop her. I like that. Nothing will stop me.
20. Every girl should have her a little black dress that makes her feel fabulous.
21. No matter how famous you get, and how many houses and cars and outfits you acquire, you still need your friends or you will become nothing more than a girl who cannot stand in heels, with frizzy hair, who may or may not be missing her head.

Were you a friend of Barbie’s as a child?

Cheers.

Happily Ever After?

Main characters in stories always have fascinating family lives. Snow White had a wicked Queen Step-mom who was trying to kill her with a poison apple. Cinderella was getting screwed over by her Step Mother AND her ugly step sisters. The Little Mermaid and her sisters did not have a mom at all…just a single dad who had to rule the sea, all while raising teenager girls. And where were Hansel and Gretel’s parents as they wandered through the woods, nearly getting eaten by a lady with unique architectural taste?  They all seem to feel trapped. And it always seems to be the fault of the family.

Maybe we are not getting the full story. Maybe there is more to these twisted families than meets the eye.

Did you ever stop to think for one minute that maybe Snow White had it coming to her? I think Snow White was actually sleeping around with the men working at the castle. She was spending all the family money, and when she asked for another raise in her allowance, the so called “Wicked” Queen put her foot down. She said no. She told her to go get a job. So what did Snow White do? She moved in with seven short dudes. Doesn’t that just scream “Daddy Issues?” And the poison apple? She was totally framed! It was actually an apple that Prince “Charming” slipped to her to make her pass out. Ever heard of roofies? Putting the moves on a sleeping girl is NOT an act of romance. It is a felony. Snow White was nothing more than a party girl who was sick of the rules in her house and decided to do things her way. Without the guidance, prayers, and advice from her loving father and step mother. She could have had it all, and instead she is living with the guy who date raped her. They may have money since he is a prince, but how can you have happiness when you have tribulation with your family who loved and raised you from the start. Happily Ever After? Yeah right.

Or Cinderella and her evil ugly stepsisters. Would you be loving and kind to someone who got you labeled as an “Ugly Stepsister? Just because they always finished their chores on time doesn’t mean she is getting picked on. I think the stepsisters were simply well behaved girls who kept tidy rooms. Cinderella gave attitude and never made her bed so she was punished with extra chores. Didn’t you ever have to do the dishes if you back talked to your mother? And then the ball rolls around, she sneaks out even though she is grounded for not completing her chores, and the next thing you know, she is losing her shoes for the same prince who roofied Snow White. Man…does anyone else think that this Prince “Charming” fellow needs to keep it in his pants? He is drugging Snow White and hanging on to Cinderella’s shoe as a “momento” of their night together. Sounds like total rapist behavior to me. Don’t you watch Law and Order SVU? The rapists almost always keep a souvenir of their wild escapades.

Lots of people in this world have issues with their families. It is really a shame. Some people just don’t know how good they have it with the family they were blessed with. Don’t get me wrong. I know that no one has a perfect family. We all have flaws, and when you put a bunch of people with the same last name together in the same room, often times all of those flaws will come to light. However, your family is who you are. Your family knows how you became who you are today. Your family is where you come from. There is no grudge so big that it cannot be overcome by the love of family. It may seem hopeless, but in the end your family could be all you have. Jobs, homes and cars come and go, but in the end family is always there.

Perhaps I am being naïve. Maybe I watch too many Hallmark or Lifetime movies where everyone ends up loving each other at the end. I just think that if there is any hope in salvaging a hurtful family situation, you should always work hard to try. If you keep pushing you family away and acting like you don’t need them, by the time you realize you do need them, it could be too late.

 

Cheers.

The Social Network

We’ve all seen previews for the upcoming movie based on the book The Accidental Billionaires, which uncovers the story behind everyone’s favorite social network, Facebook. The story is one of sex, drugs, and betrayal, with rumored thievery, lawsuits between friends, and abuse of private information. I cannot wait to see it!

While the story may be dramatized for entertainment purposes, there are very real consequences that can follow Facebook users who utilize the website carelessly. Here are some tips to keep yourself away from danger, employment issues, and social faux pas that plague many Facebook members. Follow these “Facebook Don’ts” to keep yourself in the good graces of your friends, family members, and employers, and to avoid possible fraud, computer hacking, and other scams.

Facebook Don’ts

1) Never share your full birthdate or place. This is information that identity thieves can use against you. Your day and month of birth is safe to share, but if you share the entire date, along with your place of birth, you could be in danger. A study released by Carnegie Mellon University in July 2009 revealed that your date and place of birth can be used to predict your social security number. You may think you are sharing harmless information, but experienced criminals are smart and know how to gain from your information.

2) Don’t be a careless Facebook Stalker. We’ve all done it. “Creeped” on the page of an ex, new person in your life, or a friend’s new significant other. We creep their pictures, wall, educational and job information. Admit it. You are guilty. Be careful how often you do this. I have been the witness in awkward social situations where the Facebook creeping came out (either by mentioning that you know they went to a certain school, held a certain job, or have friends in common with you). The Facebook Stalker always ends up looking like the creep in the situation. It would be unrealistic for me to say “Don’t Facebook stalk. Period.” You are going to creep people’s pages. Just know when you are over doing it and don’t put yourself in a situation where you will be embarrassed.

3) Do not let Facebook  lower your standards of Class and Fabulosity. I know that #2 on the list is about Facebook stalking, but I feel there is more to be covered here. Some Facebook stalking goes too far. This includes clicking on photos to get to profiles you do not have access to, searching for people through friends you know they have, or going through photos of a girl who is dating or has dated a man in your life. Some people take it too far. There is a fine line between being “resourceful” and being downright tacky. I know people who have logged into their ex’s Facebook to read their messages. Come on, people! If you have enough time to be creeping on the internet all like that, you have time to volunteer and do something positive with your time. Check out the Giving Back is Classy and Fabulous page for ways to better occupy your time!

*Remember…if there are 2 items on the list related to being an internet “creep,” than it is something to remember…don’t be the person who gets busted acting crazy.

4) Don’t advertise your vacation plans. Would you put your vacation plans on your voicemail? Or leave a note on your front door that says “Hey! We aren’t home!” No. That would be dumb. So is putting your vacation plans in your status. It is opening yourself up for theft.

5) Don’t be so public. Take advantage of the privacy controls available to Facebook users. Do not allow tagged photos to be made public. Maybe your wall is not necessary to share with all of Facebook. Friends with coworkers? They don’t need to see the same things your bar friends do. Use the controls to block certain groups of people from your pictures, wall, and other need-to-know information. Status updates and photos can and will deter future employers and can cause trouble with current employers. And remember, Facebook users creep. Maybe the guy you met last weekend is creeping your page. He does not need to see tagged photos of you will your ex, or you at spring break, or you notifying the world that you met a tall hottie over the weekend.

6) Never advertise your phone number or address. I think this goes without saying…but some people STILL have phone numbers viewable on their profile. Other post phone numbers on friend’s walls. Not smart. If you do not want the entire world to have your information, don’t put it on Facebook.

7) Do not be Careless with personal information. Telling the world that you are going to the “Jones Family Reunion” could clue would-be-hackers to your mother’s maiden name. Talking about your new puppy, “Sparky” could also put you at risk. The security questions that you answer on websites (Mother’s Maiden name, Pet’s name, make of first car, etc.) should be information that you do not share with everyone. Be smart!

8 ) Do not discuss risky behaviors on Facebook. Insurance companies are going as far as employers with background checks. If you talk about your speeding tickets, car accidents, cliff diving, or chain-smoking on Facebook, you could get a hefty rate hike, or even a policy cancellation for being too high risk.

9) Do not add endless apps. No one likes the person who asks them for help with Farmville, Mafia Wars, or any of the other annoying applications on Facebook. Do not flood your friend’s pages with requests to join your mob, harvest your crops, or any other ridiculous tasks. You.Will.Get.Blocked. End of story.

Facebook is a great tool for networking, catching up with old friends, and making new ones. Just be cautious and take care with the information you put on the web.

What Social Networking rules do you follow? Have any embarrassing Facebook stories?

Cheers.
