Don't go to your boss with problems. Go to your boss with solutions.

Treat your boss and coworkers with respect. Even if you think you're smarter than they are, and even if you ARE smarter than they are. It will make your life easier, trust me.

As long as you're learning something new, you're winning. Every day that you learn something new is a good day.

If they want to pay you to do something stupid, don't argue. It's their party.

They don't pay you enough to take work home and think about it 24 hours a day. Leave it at work. It will be there when you get back.
