Survival rules - section permanently under construction

Never let them make you feel small.
Timing is everything, so make sure you're at the right place at the right time!
Life is seasonal
Never underestimate the power of networking
Chocolate is as important to survival as water or oxygen
Sex (specially good sex) will never be overrated
Be nice to the admin assistant, specially if she's the one that bosses your and her own boss
Be kind... in the end, only kindness matters
Don't do anything without making up your mind first!
Make jokes, use sarcasm and have some good laughters... that's what will make your entire journey worth going through
Reputation is overrated. Well, most of the time at least.
When on doubt or feeling ignorant, ask google about it. If your answer is not there… forget about the question!
You must always, always, always be looking for a job.... the minute you stop, your short term contract does not get renewed and you'll find yourself unemployed
Design over content. Style over substance.
"Go dutch" on your calendar (this will avoid double bookings and other embarrassing moments). If it's on outlook it exists, if not…. It's not part of your day.
Dark long corridors are to be avoided.
