I’m not really one to write out whole end-of-year run downs at this time of year. I usually save that type of post for my birthdays because doing it then makes it so much more personal in my mind. Regardless of that though, I guess I don’t mind thinking about what 2009 has in store for me.
It’s obvious that big things are on the way. I mean, I’m going to be living on my own, and taking on a mortgage. What exactly does that mean, though? Well, for one, it means that I’m going to have to find my footing to see if I can still maintain my quality of life with all of the new outward flows of cash. The most desirable outcome is to be able to live my life as comfortably as I’m living right now with my parents. However, to I have enough cash floating around to keep it up? That remains to be seen.
Career-wise, I don’t see too much change in 2009. I’d venture that there’s a 50/50 chance of reviews happening and me getting a nice raise. Four of us on a team of seven started at about the same time. If something doesn’t happen soon in terms of someone out there providing incentive to stay, I’m figuring that there will be a shakeup in the group, and morale will plummet. I know that’s not a rosy picture, but as it is I don’t think the team (as solid as it is right now) can stay as is forever.
My activity of running will continue. I’m still on the fence about joining the marathon group, but once again, that’s a bridge I’ll cross when I come to it. I’m going to need to figure out how to make the commute from my new digs to the store north of the city. It’ll be tough, and I know that I’m going to get with with gas costs, but Im so familiar with the people there that I can’t imagine running at any other location. Good thing I have a car.
Anyway, I have a headache right now. I think I may have picked up some random illness from someone at work. I’m coughing and feeling gross overall. I might just curl up in bed and sleep off the night. Yes, it’s such a kill joy thing to do, but I can’t say I’m interested enough to usher in the new year awake.
(Plus I think I’m just really tired).
In any case, I wish everyone reading this a very happy new year. May it being each one of you much happiness in these gloomy times.
