I'll pass the word along. But you should rethink the precautions. Do you really want to go where Colin Farrell's been without being armed with latex?

Hey now, I sense you're trodding on someone else's turf here. (Hi bn'b!)

I resolve to spend more time at the office. (There's a joke in there somewhere -- honest).

Why not just stop at throwing out the old ones?

But DC thanks you anyway.

The WSJ today says it's much more fun to make resolutions for your co-workers, whose faults are more transparent than yours. E.g.:
[list=1][*]Stop making personal phone calls sotto voce. I have to strain to hear every word.[*]WHen leaving food wrappers in the lounge, be thoughtful enough to leave more than just a crumb or two for your hungry colleagues.[*]If you must kiss up to the boss, keep it quiet, and let us believe you got the promotion on merit.[*]Use a tissue, so I don't have to make a resolution to say, Dude, blow your nose.[/list=1]

My new resolution is to be more upbeat and man-pleasing. I'm upgrading my underlings.

1) Stop ignoring your lawyer's e-mails. Unless you'd prefer jackbooted IRS thugs beating in your door with a battering ram, that is.

2) Learn the difference between "urgent" and "not urgent." "Urgent" means "we are meeting in an hour." "Urgent" does not mean "do this right now, and when you give this back to me, opposing counsel plans to sit on his ass daydreaming about golf season for the next three weeks instead of reading this."

3) "Please" and "thanks" will get you my prompt undivided attention. "Why the hell should I pay lawyers any more than my plumber" will get you nowhere fast.

I am fairly certain that there are punctuation errors here, but I have tried substituting various punctuation and I still cannot get it to make sense. I'm pretty sure you are saying I need to wear t-shirts, but I'm not sure what the rest is supposed to say.

At these shows there have been times when there were 1 or 2 kids that I want to hit for being stupid. I'm no fighter, but I know I could take them. Problem is, I've read Leningen and the Ants, and I know how the numbers would work out.

The all ages shows are not really the problem. There usually is such a tightly-packed swarm of younguns that little harm can be done. It is the more sparsely attended 21+ shows where there are always a couple of socially maladjusted 20-somethings with a bad attitude and a head full of meth. They have enough room to build up some speed and, when they make contact, they are out to do damage.

You have no doubt said to yourself at one time or another, "I wonder whether Gareth Keenan has a homepage." He does. Sadly, it does not answer the question of whether there will ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark, or whether he could kill a tiger armed only with a Biro.

The BBC also offers you this gallery of people who look like David Brent.

My 2003 wall calendar just fell down. I'm taking that as a sign that my 2003 working year is over and I should leave soon. Happy new year. Hope the new year's fairy brings you all lots of special gifts.

Bash the first one that starts flailing his arms around wildly in the back of the head - warn loudly that others will get the same - and you can usually get the mosh pit back into some sense of order.

And wear a Celtic Frost T-shirt. The kiddies will look up to you like some cool uncle.

Well, at least it's good to know that you didn't pay extra for an over-engineered calendar that would outlive its usefulness.

I say that we have a GA get together and you show off your new resolutions.

This works well, as I have also resolved to drink more.

The noticably older should not be in the mosh pit. I believe "bashing the first one in the head" rasies a pretty high liklihood of the "ant problem. " On the other hand, if you're suggesting what's worked for you in the past, .......maybe the scum do know fear.
