today's rant: what i've learned this year

i have re-learned that i have absolutely no more time for this shit.
i learned that we're expecting our second, and hopefully final, child.  two is enough.  replacement value for myself and my wife.  all done.  no need to burden the world population anymore than we already have.
i've learned what the word "twerk" means.  i just have not had the courage to show anyone what "twerk" means.
i've learned how to deal with 6-hour car trips back and forth from south carolina to alabama:  audiobooks.  i've gone through the entire harry potter saga and am in the middle of hunger games.
i have learned that i have shame.  i know this because i have seen a fellow traveler's expense report while stuck in an airport and thought "i cannot possibly spend this much on a dinner for six people if i tried.  if i gave this to work, and they accepted it, there is something wrong."
i learned what happens when someone abuses FMLA:  they get fired and i get put in their place on 2nd shift.
i've learned that "the book of mormon" is awesome, even though i've only listened to the soundtrack.
i learned that all the money i put into our old house is gone forever.  now we must scrape together what we can in out tax return.
i've learned what a "belk", "dillards", "publix", "bi-lo", "piggly wiggly", and "food lion" are.
i learned that my cache of "fucks" are severely depleted.  therefore, i no longer give a fuck.
i learned how much clothes i need to buy.  losing 75 pounds tends to make your clothes bigger and need smaller sizes.
