There's something about the beginning of new year feels like a fresh start (even though it's our fiscal midpoint). During a winter break, you do come back feeling pretty refreshed (well, kind of). It can also be a little hard to get your work motor humming again. So it's a good time to do that "step back and evaluate" thing. For me, that means a bit of office cleaning ritual and tearing into a new day planner. I know, you are disappointed that I don't have a higher tech approach. I like to write stuff down.
I will say that the power outage turned my time away from the office into something I hadn't intended (and I hardly made a chip in my list of holiday "to do"). Plus my incredibly gracious neighbor friends made sure I had plenty of good conversation to occupy my time. This all resulted in one positive thing: an almost complete disconnect from work (well, we won't count those few days I was sleeping in the office and checking e-mail). So coming back to "the office" (haha...eight steps from bed to office) was an adjustment. I feel new and shiny.

New Year's resolutions? Or shouldn't I go there...?Anonymous

DCMT - I generally don't do them. Just another opportunity to disappoint myself or procrastinate something I should have done long ago. Speaking of which... ...I'm not sure that I would classify this as a resolution, but I am going to try to take more vacation time during the summer (which I find more enjoyable) so I don't get stuck with it at the end of the year. So more something that is top-of-mind than a resolution. What about you DCMT? Anyone?Anonymous

Calling a resolution anything but a resolution? You are clearly in marketing ;)Anonymous

Me too, I work way too much. A spring or summer vacation is definitely in the works. I'm thinking London. As for resolutions, I tend not to do them either, but this year I really want to volunteer somewhere. I feel that my time could be more valuable to someone else besides me [or work]. I've been checking out the Pacific Science Center and a few others, anybody have suggestions?Anonymous

Wine-Oh, I don't doubt that the show's debut has something to do with all the fuss. That's just his style. I am torn between my annoyance and the fact that several people have told me they miss the recaps.
