2009 eh? Well I must get something done..

So New year, new start and all that?  Well not in an attempt to sound cliched but managing it all the same so what do I want out of this year? Money, women, an Adonis like physique, oh you expect me to be serious and grown up about this?  Really? fine if you want to play like that I will even split them into work and personal.

Work

I need to pass 4 Microsoft Professional exams this year they are

• 70-271 Supporting Windows XP users and computers. Deadline: December 2008
• 70-271 Supporting Windows Desktop Applications Deadline: 31st March
• 70-270 – Windows XP Professional Deadline: 30th June
• 70-290 – Server 2003 Deadline 30th September

i also need to pass a personal communications course, as apparently I don’t play well with others.  Now shockingly I know but I don’t believe this is the case, people get the messages I send out, it just happens that the majority of the messages are, “no you are doing it wrong” and “Why yes you are a cock, please go to the head of the class”.  My boss tells me that this doesn’t go down well.

However in all seriousness he gave me some feedback which I did find interesting in that I used “closed” language a lot.  For example I will write “you will” instead of “you should” and because of this I come across as dictatorial and aggressive when this is not necessarily the case.

Personal

Well my personal goals are slightly less well defined and mostly fitness related

• Run a mile by the end of feb
• Enter and complete a 2K – 5K run by the end if the year.
• Swim a mile by Easter
• Get my purple belt at Jitsu.
• Make up my mind on if I am going to Marry my girlfriend.

Oh well the objectives are set – lets see if I make them.
