Happy New Year

I was doing some cleaning over the holidays and I came across a list I made last April on the eve of my bow from the restaurant world and realized that there may be something to this idea of making lists. On it I had said that in one year I wanted to be in a new job, living on my own, re-engaging old friends and in a stable relationship. Now, I'll be honest, I wrote that list and looked at it maybe once after I wrote it, but I was surprised to see that 9 months later I have accomplished nearly all of the things on it or am on my way to accomplishing them.

So, that got me thinking that I should start a new list to see what I can accomplish this year. I don't want to call it "resolutions" (as in the New Year's variety) because that will last me all of about a day and I never wrote those down anyway (perhaps why I never kept them...hmm...). I want to make my list 3-4 major things I can accomplish this year.

So I guess that's my resolution this year: that I'll make a list and stick it in a drawer and check back 12 months later to see how I'm doing. Seems like a good resolution to me. Check back in 12 months to see how I did!

Badass

My conversation at work this morning:

My Boss: What's that under your sleeve?

Me: Oh, it's my badass tattoo from my halloween costume.

Him: (Gives me dubious look, while trying to refrain from rolling his eyes.)

Dear MTA,

Thank you ever so much for conspiring with the Universe to make my morning even worse than it was. Haven't you ever heard the expression "don't kick a (wo)man when (s)he's down?" Yeah, thanks. Why don't you go kill some puppies?

On a brighter note, thanks to the guy on the elevator, I've now gotten my 3 things over with within the span of an hour or so...so, thanks Universe. Now, can you work on fixing problem #1? Pretty please.

Thank you ever so much.

Kind regards,
Me
