Don't get Deep Heat on your lips or b
ks.....
When i was in my late teens we were at a party where the chemicals had been liberally spread through the building. Whilst absolutely off our tits someone mentioned that if you put a little deep heat on your balls during sex it adds a certain extra element, much laughing and joking happened and then most of us forgot what we had been talking about and carried on chatting general sks.....te. About 3 hours later everyone was crashing and starting to fall asleep in the living room when there was an almighty scream, a few of us managed to rouse ourselves and when we got upstairs there was a man stood in the bath spraying his cock and balls with cold water from the shower clearly in lots of pain and generally cursing life.
It turned out that in his slightly less than clear headed way he had decided that if a drop of Deep Heat on the balls added something to sex then using is as makeshift lube when having a sneaky w
k would be awesome. It really wasn't but i nearly died from laughing when we finally got the full story out of him. 
Money wise, regularly up to a tenner from customers, most just round up their bill.
Advise wise, a few that have stuck with me:
If it was easy, everybody would do it.
Your boss won't be there in your times of need. It will be your friends and family.
On your deathbed, you won't say 'I wish I spent more time in the office'.

It's not just your death bed, it's even more relevant when the one(s) the love most dearly, are on theirs. ...
The best work advice I ever got was actually said in spiteful way to me but it's been a very balancing thought throughout my life regarding work life balance.
'You see that hole left in the cup of tea when I pull my finger out of it... that's how much you will be missed.'
I work in IT in an investment bank.
A long time ago I used to do trading desk support for a large US investment bank. The head trader was the classic 80s Wall Street character. Very loud, very aggressive, "WHY THE fk ISN'T MY fkING PC WORKING YOU fkING fk", lots of throwing and smashing stuff, every single day of the week. I hated it but managed to get the job done.
Near Christmas, he comes over and puts a large box on my desk. "You did a great job this year, thanks and have a good break". It was a case of 1996 Dom Perignon
which SWMBO proceeded to finish off in about 3 days

Best advice I was given when I was starting out in my career, "Listening is a skill". Set me up perfectly for a life in technical sales where you actually answer the question that was asked, not the one you thought was asked.
If only that was passed onto customers.Me: are you taking any medication
Customer: No
What they actually meant: Yes 11 per day but nothing I want to tell you about or care to mention.
