What a year

It seems that most of my ex-colleagues are either tossing it off at home or tossing it off at work today and blogging at the same time, so I thought I would join in the fun.

So, a belated Happy Christmas and a posthumus Happy New Year to you all!

Its been a funny year for me - on and offline.  I quit Blogger and landed here at Megatao.com, quit my job and started life as a lowly iT contractor.  One of my closest friends upped sticks and moved to Canada and now it appears that in two months another of my close friends is doing the same!  Babies, new gagdets came 1 2 3 4 and thankfully no-one went!

And what of 2007?  I never make new years resolutions, normally because I am too lazy to carry through with them - but this time I will be making a concerted effort in the following areas:

1. Get fit(ter) - I need to get off my office chair dwelling arse and back on my bike, or to the gym or something.  I have now got the stage where running upstairs hurts my knees and stretching just leaves me with muscle cramps.  I am only 35 but my Radio 4 conditioned body feels about 60!  I have already started drinking (much) less coffee and having salad sandwiches for lunch!
2. Get Rich(er) - This is a bit of a catch-all title really.  I have again got into the potential of earning a living online from such things as Adsense.  I just need that little spark to start something unique that will help me pay the mortgage.  I will also start doing the lottery in 2007.  A pound a week is pretty much the cost of an XBox360 game - and you never know!  In 2007 I will also become more career focused and not take a back seat any more.  I go with the flow too easily and settle into things too quickly.  I am good at what I do - very good!  And I need to be paid accordingly.
3. Do Shit! - I spend far too much of my time sitting in front of the TV doing feck all!  Especially as I am always telling people that there is only one program I ever watch with any certainty!  I have lots of projects buzzing round my head and this will be the year to crack open my skull and let them out!  I think I am a creative person at heart - but fixing servers all day is just dull, dull, DULL!  I will be planning to relaunch my Photao photoblog and get my camera back out again.  Having creative people around like Mr Swimpig is always great to spur me on.

There are other more personal things I have left off this mini list which are not for public consumption!  But wife... if you are reading this... I will be waiting for you upstairs!

Have a happy 2007.  Thanks, come again... i'll be here all year.

Then again... I could always move to Canada?
