You Can’t Make Me!
We all have things we aspire to doing in the coming year, and actually want to do. There are books to read, maybe we’ll get back in touch with friends and relatives, or start a vegetable garden.
But we also have things we could do, but know damn well we won’t do, and don’t even want to do. And what’s more, we’re GLAD we’re not going to do. Maybe some people feel like it’s a noble calling, but not us!
For example, I will not run a marathon this year, will not swim 2.4 miles, and will not bike 112 miles, and definitely not complete an Iron Man Triathlon. But even less than that, I won’t be running a 5K or 10K or going on a walkathon or anything with a hint of competition. I’ll be miserable doing anything like that, and quite frankly I don’t see the value for me.
What’s something good that you know you won’t be doing, and quite frankly you’re happy that you won’t be doing? You feel no guilt, you’re willing to just stay put and let someone else worry about? Something that sounds good in theory, but you know you’ll do more harm than good if you actually try?
Repainting your house because your house is just fine? Taking the dog to obedience training because the dog is not really causing any trouble and training will just bum them out? Starting up tap dancing because your downstairs neighbors would just be miserable? No No No?
Share an anti-resolution or two, Deadsplinteronis, just say no, and talk about how you’ll enjoy one less thing on your plate.
I’m not going to drink any more. I’m not going to drink any less either.
Better pace yourself. You’d hate to have Halloween come around and find yourself way behind your quota.
I was thinking of doing I reading challenge. But I’ll probably just read what I want when I want.
See, the good thing about resolving now *not* to do the challenge is you can just happen to read along with it but not feel any pressure along the way.
I’m not making any resolutions this year.
That was a guy nobody could tell him nothing no how on when to do something. Or not. No way.
Which explains why his music was so great. And why he was married about 14 times.
He did do it his way.
I resolve to be nicer to management, tolerate fools and not laugh at other peoples misfortune.
Nah.*
*strictly on a case by case study.
I’m not going to make better documentation for the dumb shit I do all day at work.
I’m also not going to start doing another team’s job.
Excellent! You’re helping them become more independent!
I don’t know if there are any sprots fans watching this Orange Bowl with Clemson and Tennessee, but it’s been a super fucking boring game.
Yeah, real bad.
