Tempus Fugit or My Epic Fail

Hard to believe but, yet another year has passed. As I sit here waiting for the ringing in of another year, or the passing on of another, I look back over the past 12 months and while there are several high points, there are just as many lows. More importantly, being the glutton for punishment and masochist that I am, I chose to review my post from a year ago regarding my thoughts on New years Resolutions.

Sadly, and against my own better judgement, I chose to list the things I wanted to change or improve. So instead of creating a new list here of renewed futility, I decided to outline my own epic fail.

* * *
I have never been particularly vain, but here on the other side of forty, I do carry a few extra pounds and I listed this as one of the things I would work on. I buy Lean Cuisine "nuke-n-pukes" and mostly low-fat everything and, still I fight the battle of the bulge.

* * *
After falling backwards into a job I never would have looked for, and subsequently becoming somewhat enamored with it, I have struggled with the politics and childish behavior, the cliques and the micro-management, only to find myself deeper in and far more reluctant to walk away. A year ago, I had resolved to do just that.

* * *
The final thing I mentioned in last year's post, at least in the form of a resolution, was that I have a terrible tendency to procrastinate and I wanted to work on that. I think that this new blog post is its own testament to the epic fail that represents, nevermind the six-month hiatus I took from writing here.

I wish this piece would offer up some sage advice for the coming year but, in truth, it is just another rambling rant. Nevertheless, I wish everyone a Happy New Year. Peace and Prosperity to all.
