I resolve.
- Alex
I'm not usually the kind of guy to make New Year's resolutions. Basically, I know in advance that I'm going to break them, so why even bother when I
know it's going to end in disappointment. Nevertheless, I made three unofficial resolutions this year, and being that we're on the third full week of the
new year, I figured now would be a good time to get the evaluation out of the way so I can go on with my life.
#1. I resolve to write my Gambits the night before they're posted.
This is an excellent resolution. I find that I can think and type much more clearly in the comfort of my own home rather than at work where I'm constantly
distracted and interrupted. (Kinda like what happened right after I finished that sentence. Now it's five minutes later...). This is my fifth Gambit of 2005 -
guess how many were written at home? That's right, it rhymes with "hero". Thanks for playing.
#2. I resolve not to eat so damn much chocolate at work.
You see, my boss has this huge candy jar, filled with Hershey's minis and other assorted chocolatey goodness. So I thought that I'd do things like limit
myself only to a piece or two per day. Or only eat it if the dessert at lunch wasn't something I wanted. Or at least not go into his office for the sole
purpose of getting chocolate. How's that going, you ask? The three wrappers in my trash from this morning already give that away pretty well.
#3. I resolve to keep working out/try to stay in decent shape this year.
Yeah ok so I'm actually managing this one pretty well. Good for me. It'll be even better once I can start running outside again.
So that's my story. How are your resolutings going so far? Talk about it in the Forum.
