Don't take your job home with you, if at all possible.
It is a little easier said than done in tech jobs with on-call rotations and whatnot, but it took me a long time to learn to disconnect after leaving the office. Bringing work stress home to other family members sucks for everyone involved.
However, while at work do your job the best of your ability and seek out more skilled people to expand your knowledge. You are going to see a lot of people being very lazy. Resist the temptation to join them.
