A New Year’s Resolution?
First off, it’s not my goal to not have a job. It just kind of worked out like that. So, right there, shut it up. Like many unfortunate graduates in my age bracket, I’ve found the job market less than desirable and therefore have shied away from the dreck at the bottom of its barrel.
At this very time (meaning about 11 hours from now) I’ll be going to work at my college part time job. Which magically evolved into a full time job shortly after graduation and has stayed as thus for the duration. I hate it.
Why start on the 1st though? A touch melodramatic, and more than a touch cliche. Yeah, I’ll admit it, and generally I don’t have a damn thing to say about it other than the obvious…so what. It’s a good round way to go though. There’s none of that backpedaling across months and years. At any given point in 2007 I can say to myself; Self (and you are looking mighty fine today, self). Self, this is what you’ve accomplished since you started, in 2007. So, it’s not just some mental trick, it’s semantics, and good book keeping.
And so it is that on January 1st (technically December 31st, but I plan on spending the 31st celebrating the abundance and wonder of the New Year…via moderate intoxication) I’ll start this whole bout of shenanigans. Shenanigans you ask? Why, yes. I hope to invoke a veritable array of shenanigans. Truthfully, I just want to see how many times I can say shenanigans before you roll your eyes and click back.
