Does anyone make these? I don't, since I've observed that everyone who for example makes a New Year's vow to lose weight somehow ends up excessively hitting the potato chips and building up a gargantuan ass instead. But this year I am. New job (in the law) in '04! And a corresponding increase in my Tangerine Sparkle Purse collection of extraordinary handbags, though I needn't make a resolution for the inevitable.

I do. Every year. This year:

1) Enter billable time every day rather than in a mad rush on the last working day of the month.

2) Always have reserve bag of dog food in the garage, so that there is no need to run out to feed the Brazenhounds, or so that they don't wind up eating my frozen eggos for breakfast 2 days in a row.

3) Keep mother from getting under my skin. In the alternative, be less upset when she succeeds in climbing under there.


Yeah. That's about it.

Indeed. Because plaid would be just too Christmas.

Ah, the holidays.

Darling, in my book, you already are.

How on earth can you possibly get by WITHOUT doing this? I may leave some of the portions of the time sheet to fill out later on but I write down what I do as I do it and can't imagine trying to reconstruct even one day and the end of that day, let alone a day from a month ago.

You think this is a good look?

If "jumped the shark" has now jumped the shark, how do the hipsters today express this sentiment without, well, jumping the shark.

Sincerely,

I spend the last day of the month furiously sifting through my OUtlook Inbox, Sent file, etc, the document system, and a steno pad on which I keep track of hours in the vaguest way (yesterday reads (Client A, 4.5 hours, Client B redraft, Client C telephone call). It is not pretty. This is why, every year, I vow to be better, and every year, I am for like 2 weeks.

I'm with you on that. I've had to do it on occasion, and that's how I developed most of the office computer skills I've acquired over the last 5-6 years (tracking document access, retrieving call records, searching e-mails, etc.).

For new year's, I usually resolve (i) nothing, (ii) something fairly abstract ("appreciate more Spanish cheeses") or (iii) something fairly easy that I really need to do but just haven't found the gumption to do yet (remember to water plants, only order in 3 times a week, etc.).

This year, I will resolve to do something resembling exercise each day, even if it is just 20 lunges or push ups or taking the stairs instead of the elevator once. Walking to the subway doesn't count anymore.

Angelina Jolie has a new love (or at least playmate): monobrowed bad boy Colin Farrell. So FBers with a crush on Angelina, you too have an in with your favorite babe if you're constantly wasted and randomly nail everyone you meet without precautions. I'm sure these strict criteria can be met with some effort on your parts--let the chase begin!

I used to work for a partner who would recreate his month by looking at the his calendar, the fax logs, his phone logs, his secretary's timesheets, my timesheets, and all the other associates' timesheets. The last day of the month would be a frantic day dedicated to his timesheets.

He routinely got nailed by clients for spending too much time reviewing faxes that were no more than thank you notes, and for billing for too much time on phone calls for minor stuff like rescheduling meetings.

Sure, if worn with this shirt at all ages shows. Punk rock shows. Hip hop shows. DJ shows. Indie rock shows. Were you not wrist deep in secretaries you would know this.
