“My job as a therapist isn’t just listening to people and offering advice.”
“I’m a vet tech.
I don’t make the prices of our products or services, I simply provide them.
I have tons of paperwork to do on top of notes.
I actively plan sessions and sometimes have to scrap what I had planned because my client needs something different.
I supply a lot of my own activities and supplies, including art materials and therapy games.
Also, therapy isn’t always talking about the bad stuff.
I want to hear the good just as much as the bad!
It’s how I know you’re making progress.”

There’s not really time to just sit and read.
Managers would go through and correct the inventory regularly to be sure it was as accurate as possible.
So I generally always knew that when the system said we didn’t have it, we didn’t.

“Working at a museum isn’t always ‘dealing with old stuff.’
It’s so much more than that.
It’s advertising, programming, creating exhibit content, etc.
I work at a museum, and the amount of contact I have with artifacts is almost zero.
It’s basically like running a business.”

Nope, we only have what is required for the menu.
People also think that we cook everything from scratch when you have ordered it.
Nope, the soup is done, and no, I can’t just pick the onions out."
“People think that scientists play with colored liquids.
Unless you’re using indicator dyes, most liquids are clear, so good labeling is essential.
Every time I see a depiction of a scientist, they have a colored solution.
It’s ridiculous.”

“I work from home.
There’s a preconception that people who work from home have an easier time or are more laidback.

“I hate when people say to teachers, ‘Must be nice to have summers off.’
Those summers off are well-earned.
Teachers put 12 months' worth of work into 9 months.
We show up to school an hour or more early and sometimes stay after school for another two hours.
And really, only students get three months off for summer.
Teachers are lucky to get two full months off.
Yes, it’s a lot of work.
I’m underpaid, but I wouldn’t do anything else.”

“Paralegals are not secretaries or personal assistants, and certainly not attorneys.
I’ve come across quite a few lawyers who don’t know what a paralegal is or does.
Usually, the ones who do know know because they were once paralegals.”

If we say we are out, normally, we are out.
We aren’t being lazy.”

I’ve been doing this for 30 years and get asked something new almost every day.”
