Things I wish I'd known - probably did know but never listened properly!!

1. The need to answer the call of nature is always more pressing whenever the temperature is
at its lowest and you are buried under layers of blankets and cats!
2. Ghost Pops do not constitute a healthy nutritious breakfast!
3. There is always a power failure when in the midst of typing a lengthy legal document, which
has not been auto saved!
4. You never truly leave work. It follows you home and has a habit of appearing when you least
want it to.
5. Your cat will scratch frantically and pitifully at the door as if in dire need of escape. Upon
opening said door, it will sit there contemplatively for up to 15 minutes and then decide it
wasn't worth it and saunter away.
6. Your alarm clock always works on the weekend when you want to sleep in, but never during
the week when you cannot sleep in!
7. The weather is always beautiful and sunny when you are indoors forced to work!
8. Never assume anything. Assumption is the mother of all f.... ups!
9. The cute guy that starts to chat you up at the local pub is more than likely married. Whats
worse is that you probably know his wife! Yes this really happened.
10. Never assume that you are alone - if its not the cats then its the millions of microscopic creatures that live on your body that keep you company.
