Steve, if you come anywhere near Detroit, let me know... I gotta meet you some day and it's not likely I'll make it out to your farm!

And congrats on making 40 this year! You know how they say you go "down hill" after 40? Don't take that the wrong way... what they really mean is that everything get's easier after 40. Well, except for poopin' regular 😛

We're moving from The Netherlands to Austria in february, so my new year's resolution would be to set up a fine new home for my wife and kids and make sure that they'll feel well over there. I'm going to have to travel quite a bit for the new job, so I want to spend as much quality time with them as I can when I'm at home.

Happy new year everybody !

My Resolution at work are to get the rewrite of the application I'm currently in charge of completed and get the organization to a better place so that I might have the chance to take opportunities as they present themselves.

At home I'm resolving to finish my basement and brew more beer.

Here's wishing a happy new year to everyone here 😀

My main goal in 2008 is to help my husband find the career happiness that I found in 2007. After changing jobs and finally getting back in the career path that I wanted to be in, I've been much happier in general, and that's what I want for him. 🙂

For me personally, I want to work on improving my non-work skills, specifically my double bass playing and baking. I've noticed this year that I really can do well with these if I put enough effort into it, so we'll see how that goes.

Same for me on 40 in '07! So I'm going to start running with my new wife.

I will turn 76 in the second quarter of 2008 and my work resolution is to keep on learning.

My personal resolution is to live healthy and make it to the ripe old age of 77.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

I intend to work less, make more, and help Ms. South Carolina achieve world peace and learn to read maps.

After working for them for 4 years, I recently found out that my whole company is leaving Michigan and moving to North Carolina sometime later this year...

I resolve to stay in Michigan 😛

Good luck on the job hunt. 😉

I gave up on new years resolutions a while back but...

Brush up on C# skills

Spend more time on university work

And a couple others I won't post here because I don't want google to get them.
