Another year is here, pounds still need to be shed, projects still need to be completed, budgets still need to be made and love still needs to be found.

I won’t kid anybody… I’m not going to list any of my resolutions for 2003 on this site…
Actually, the only resolution that I will admit to is that I plan to blog at least one entry a day… Oh, sure, it might just be a lame entry (like THIS one), but I’ll at least do SOMETHING.

It’s the close of the first day of the New Year. I’m still trying to figure out where LAST year went. (Jees, I must be getting old - and I am since I’ll be hitting the big 4-0 later this year. No, it’s NOT bothering me, why do you ask?!?)

This holiday in the middle-of-the-week thing bites. Tomorrow is just another work day. Actually, it’s the second to the last day of the Fiscal Year at work - which wouldn’t be such a big thing except that since the company got sold, this represents a shift from our former FY schedule (May to April) to a new “calendar-year” schedule. Yep, that’s right… change. I’m still in the process of updating all of my reports to accurately report the CY data. For a company that’s followed this pattern for 20+ years, this is actually a big thing. Should be a hoot to watch senior management try to recalculate the monthly trends and the seasonality of our business - and come up with excuses for why our sales have tanked. Should be an interesting year… that’s all I can say.

I signed up for two free courses through Barnes and Noble. I haven’t taken a course in ages, so signing up for TWO courses may be a bit more than I’ll be able to keep up with. I figure that I’ll start out strong, then fade once the novelty wears off…. Just like college.

Classes start January 13th and 15th. I’m sure that I’ll have comments to make about each of them… Stay tuned.
