The most important things I've learned from my career history:

1) Never, ever, ever trust an ATM. Save your receipts.

2) Never, ever, ever trust the data on a directory site like Yelp or TripAdvisor. Do your own research.

3) Never, ever, ever trust anyone representing a temp agency. Corruption is rampant.

4) Never, ever, ever trust a right-wing construction contractor who tells you he doesn't employ any "illegals."

5) Never, ever, ever trust any system that exists for its own profit.

Follow

Oh, two more:

6) Any third-world country's webpages are going to take 4-5x longer to find useful information on.

7) Texas counts as a third-world country. You already knew that, but I mean for purposes of #6.
