  • How to measure people's feet: Sadly enough, not until my last week. No one trained me how to do it at work and I hardly ever got asked, so it took a while.
  • How to deal with super mean people: I mean, I've also learned it from serving food/waitressing, but retail produces a different breed of mean people.
  • How to refold a table of shirts: Something I've never been able to do when I've tried at other clothing stores (the trick is to follow the creases, apparently).
  • How to stay cheerful even when a family of twelve comes in five minutes before you close and messes up all of your folding: Mm yeah.

  • I'm very forgetful. I usually lose either my phone, my wallet, my iPod, or my keys at least once a day. Once I left my wallet in my freezer.
  • I have a phobia of water in video games. If I'm playing a video game and the character has to go in water, I quit the game.
  • Also, talking on the phone makes me irritated and grumpy.
  • I like to eat things I like least first. For example, I cut the crusts off my sandwiches and eat them before the inside of the sandwich.

From my special set of experiences.

  • First off, you have to be ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to marry someone before you do. It's an eternal decision.
  • Before you get married, you need to communicate absolutely everything to that person.
  • And, when you marry someone, you need to be sure to make time with them, to do things alone together.
  • With kids--if you don't want them to ever disappoint you, you need to know them so well that you understand their personalities and motives for doing the things they do.
