Rachel's Lessons for Life

1. If you are working on an important document? Like, say, someone's resumé, for your work on which they are paying you a hundred dollars? And you have just made the most brilliant section EVER and everyone is high-fiving everyone else about how totally employable this person sounds because of you? You should definitely save the document. In fact you should have saved it several times already. And in the event that you attempt to close a window, even if you don't THINK it's the window with the magical $100 document in it, and it asks you to save? You should really triple-check before you click no.



1a. Rewriting is a bitch and it never comes out quite the same as it did the first time.



2. "Take and bake" pizzas should come on sturdier cardboard. That way they are less likely to wind up (uncooked, but not for long) all over the bottom of a 450-degree oven.



Funnily enough, I was having a fantastic day for quite a while today. Now I could cheerily boil myself in oil (and I don't think my son had heard me say that particular word before. But he has now. Because I am The Mother of the Year.)
