2007

Well, a new year. Everyone else is listing their new years resolutions. As and I have a couple so far I'll list them: * Drink more water. * We're going to try to keep to the FlyLady system for cleaning/organizing the house more. Apart from that, let's review how I did on my December goals: 1. Drinking 8 cups (2 liters) of water a day: Well, dunno how well I did. I do know that at Signal we had a nice water dispenser (converted from bottle to a filter for piped water, which was much better than the bottles they were getting!). I liked the water, and it was easy to get and drink, and I did find myself drink more water (probably ~4 cups alone at work). I'm hoping to keep doing this this new year (see above). So I think I get a point for this. 2. Daily prayer: I flunked this one. Totally. I think it's because I'm just not used to it - my family was practically atheist, and I'm not really used to it. I don't know if I want to try this again, or wait and if I should try again... I'm kinda lost on this one. I really need to get back to visiting my shul and Rabbi once in awhile (first Isaac, then my work, and now my new work conspire to take the time that I would use to do this..). 3. Start serious work on PocketPoster 2.0: Well, I got a couple classes started. I'm trying to do test-driven development, and it's slower than traditional development methods. Also, I've had to work on getting a new job, and learn the differences between VB.Net and C# for my new job. No points here. So, here's 2 for January. Since I've got 2 for the year as a whole, I'm going to just try two per month. 1. Wow my new coworkers, or at least don't get drowned. I guess I'm really afraid that I'm just not good enough. I'm afraid that these guys are super competent and that I just don't know enough, or that I won't know as much as we all thought I did. Luckily time will solve this one... 2. Dunno. I'll probably edit/comment and figure this one out later. :) Oh, and as a completely unrelated note: Staples now has a Colorado store - in Boulder! , and I all went there to get Easy Buttons. I've always wanted one.
