mehekwritesLeave a comment

I turn 33 on Sunday, which is…weird. I have grown, over the last few years, to feel pretty ambivilent about my birthday. Maybe it’s that I never quite know what to do, that I have to plan for most things myself, or that it never quite lives up to what I hope it’ll be. At the end of the day, it’s just another day, but as I have gotten older, I feel the necessity of marking it with something, including a blog post. So here’s 13 things I’ve learned this past year:

I started a sentence the other day, “When I was working for this labor union,” and the person I was speaking to stopped me.

“What do you mean, ‘when you worked for a labor union?'” For what it’s worth, the story had nothing to do with the union, it was a silly story about a coffee that used to be available at a local chain coffee shop. Regardless, the question got me thinking. Over the last 10 years, I’ve had 20 different jobs that I list on Linkedin, and another 15-20 random freelance things that I’ve done. What has this bredth of experience taught me?
