* Don’t trust people. Ever.
* Don’t do things for people, they only shit all over you when they have scabbed everything they can off you.
* Don’t put all your eggs in a basket lacking a handle with integrity.
* Don’t expect people to be understanding or accomodating when it’s not their selfish ass on the line.
* Don’t assume that because you are honest, trustworthy or reliable that the pricks you work for or share your life with will be too. They won’t. Overfed, overpaid, selfish, unethical, unfaithful and disloyal arseholes will always be overfed, overpaid, selfish, unethical, unfaithful and disloyal arseholes.
* It doesn’t matter how many years you spend doing for free, out of the goodness of your heart and the friendship you have the shit that others can’t, won’t or don’t know how to do, the minute they have to pay you anything your time, your time is almost up.

Karma... it's gonna get 'em.
