Things I have learned as a 3 month newbie:
Learn to tell the diff between the smell of burning vinyl tile and cotton...(hint:, one is your pants - MOVE!!!!!)
Don't use the back side of your aluminium groved marver in the kiln to heat anything, unless you have a need for a kiln with a metal bottom!
Don't try to torch beads with an inquisitive little girl in the room, the questions don't stop but your attention will, with painful results.....
And the HH torch stays HOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
But most of all, lampworkers are a wonderful group, I haven't had this much fun in years!
