![]() Since we’re a ways through this year of service, I’d like to share a collection of some of the lessons **I’ve learned** since the start of this year: 1: Carry deodorant with you wherever you go. LA is hot and swampiness is inevitable. 2: Triple check to ensure that your car is in the correct gear (especially when you’re on a slope) BEFORE you release the brake. Just trust me. 3: Don’t be afraid of meeting new people. They’re just as afraid of you, if not more. 4: Always try to be authentically yourself. Don’t conflate or downplay your personality while making a first impression. Be you. 5: On your first day of work you will either be severely over-dressed or under-dressed. Make peace with this fact. It will be okay, you can bounce back from this faux pas with a can-do attitude and a great work ethic. |
