First off, sorry about the hashtags. Cool your jets.

Secondly, I'm sitting here getting my ass handed to me at work (and have been for quite some time now), and figured listing would be a bit cathartic / provide some comedy to the site / remind you younger members have to look forward to!

So... I'll start. I've worked 60+ hour weeks for the last 3 weeks, have come in the last two saturdays to catch up on work (i.e., missed jumps opening at Breck and Keystone), and will probably be doing this until the end of January. #PGP

Feel free to share / laugh at me / with me.

Pssshhhhhhhh.

4 years out of college and I work an easy 50 hour week yet:

Play hockey 2x a week
Play soccer 2x a week
Cook dank dinner
Eat out regularly

and

Drink beer at my office.

Find a job you love so that PostGradProblems aren't so forefront.

just got my first job after graduation. Washing dishes at the new brew pub in town. It's a pretty nice building and the people running everything are cool and fun. I work my ass off though. Kinda weird though as the job I worked during college I was telling restaurant managers what to do and why they suck. Now that I actually have a degree it's the other way around.

Nah I feel you, it's a feeling of resentment looking back on the decisions made and could have been made in high school, also all the social interactions that could have happened by I was just too damn awkward.

I figured out what I wanted to do right before graduation. I didn't put any thought into it it just kind of hit me that my favourite class was Geography, where I live there isn't a whole lot to do with Geography as a career so why not teach along with Media and an Outdoors class? That's my plan so far and hopefully I don't stray away from it and have to re-figure everything out.
