New Year's Resolutions

For many years, 2011 has been the postcode of Potts Point.

This year I'm going to make the bitch work for me.

Changes I'm considering are listed below.

1. Own more adapters and chargers

Now that I have so many wireless devices, I need to invest in more chargers and adapters. A full set for the work bag, a subset for the gym bag, a full set for my office desk, a full set for home and a subset for luggage. It seems silly but it's actually not. If I never have to move them around from place to place, I'll never be without. And for the $100 (or so) that this resolution will cost me, I believe that it will solve 40% of my problems.

2. Be more superficial

In 2011 I intend to become more superficial. This should solve about 15% of my problems.

3. Become good at something

Last year it became clear that I don't have any hobbies. And hobbies are important. So this year I'm going to become good at something. I don't know what it will be. This will likely solve 20% of my problems.

4. Sink into a permanent Fiscal Crisis

Extend my spending and credit exposure, to the point where euphemism will be required. By end 2011 my situation will be best described as "a situation". This will probably not solve any of my problems.

5. Make work work for me

Given that my workload is unlikely to ease, expenses fraud is probably my only option. This will likely solve 7% of my problems.
