From Page 1 of that thread:
"I have 3 rules for you to survive your 1st year:
1. Eat whatever is put in front of you. If you don't know what it is, don't ask, just eat. Chances are it will be good.
2. Yard work should be done before 10 am or after 6pm. ALWAYS. Learn to siesta during the summer.
3. The South is slow. Like mind-numbing slow. So you had better slow your roll and adapt. This goes for stop lights, waitresses, and work. or any other environment you might be expected to wait for something.
Good luck"
