The New Year’s Resolutions Post
It’s New Year so I figured I should probably, as is traditional, write some resolutions. I normally make some sort of half hearted resolutions which are duly forgotten by February, but this year is going to be different. This year I’m writing them down. Of course, it doesn’t mean I’ll stick to them, but at least I’ll have a physical record of my failure (and who doesn’t like having that). OK, here goes:
1) Be more arsed.
This is an old favourite that I fail at every year. Basically, if there’s something that needs to be done and I don’t really want to do it, I can often be heard to utter the phrase “I can’t be arsed“. I therefore resolve to stop being lazy and start doing all the jobs that I couldn’t be arsed to do before.
2) Drink less.
Apparently I have gained a reputation for being somewhat of a heavy drinker. It’s true, perhaps I could drink less beer. I mean, perhaps I should cut down on the binge drinking a bit, as it is kinda killing me. Also, I drink an awful lot of tea. Maybe I shouldn’t.
3) Drink more.
Everybody knows red wine is good for you. I probably don’t drink enough wine. I therefore resolve to drink more wine in future, perhaps instead of beer. I probably shouldn’t drink it instead of tea though, as I drink too much alcohol at work already (in retrospect, this may be where my reputation comes from).
4) Exercise (no, the sauna is not “exercise”).
Last year I joined a gym. It’s in the same building that I work in, which I thought would be pretty convenient. I still think it is. Every morning as I walk past it I think to myself “wow, my gym is really conveniently located right next to my office”. This year I’m going to actually go inside, I promise.
