Was a shit year but I'm confident in the next being awesome.
IWH, you're a dickhead.

[ClayBeadGirl]

What can I say? I'm a pretty upbeat person...

That and the fact that my one cat woke me up before 7 for no other reason than he wanted me awake (Grrrrrrr). My husband is still in bed and now both cats are sleeping. I'm bored. What do I do when I'm bored? Go on the internet of course.

P.S. I will never post in the boob thread. Sorry.

I'm glad to be seeing 2010 go; lately even-numbered years have generally sucked balls. The 3 best things to happen this year were:

1) Birth of my son (who's doing fine now)
2) Husband took the A+ computer networking certification exam last night to get his cert before they change it from being permanent to being renewed every 2 or 3 years, and despite a lot working against him at the testing center, he PASSED, with considerable room to spare! On to him getting a job that'll let me stay home with kiddos!
3) I got to see my best friends in the world this summer, after not being able to see them since 2008. Long-distance friendships and no travel money sucks.

Karma owes me a lot of good things for 2011 in exchange for the crap it gave me this month.

This year was crap.

Won a major scholarship. Then said scholarship went bankrupt. My daughter was sick for half the freakin year with what I now know to be the leavings of Strep B (which the doctor who delivered her failed to inform me of.) Post partum...(!) Yo-yoed between a house, a house and finally this apartment. My husband was all like HURRR IM GONNA PARENT NOW K. Successfully evaded all types of dirtbaggy advances from husband. Divorce finalized (after 2 plus years of waiting on the Texas family court system). Started dating again and that is always a bad thing. Credit report was ruined because of some of that (should be ok in 3-6 months tho).

I made it out alive whoo!

I'm not sure either way on 2010. It will probably take me a year to digest if this year was good or bad.

A large portion of my career is riding on an interview on January 18th that I worked all this year to even get a shot at. Either I make it and go places or I'm stuck where I am for at least 5 years.

Dated a girl for 8 months that I never should have been dating, dumped her a month ago and have been much happier since then. I let myself go to shit once I got comfortable with her, so 2011 is going to be a rebuilding year in a variety of ways.

Good luck on the interview.

And you know what they say about that juggling act. Career gets good, relationship goes to crap. And vice versa. Actually the people I know who have found a balance between the two are aliens who speak a different language entirely. Who are they to give advice and talk about Jesus like he's a banker who hands out happy checks. I hate them all.

Thanks. I think I've decided that I'd rather have a prosperous career than an unpredictable long term relationship. If I've got to sacrifice one to get the other, I think I'm happier working on my career. At least it won't treat me like shit because it thinks it can hire someone new at any point.

[iJin]

I'm not sure how I feel.


Had to go to trial, that was fun. First semester back that I didn't suck at due to the amount of stress from said court stuff. Finally got over lame guy. Dated like a guy for the majority of the year. Got promoted. Won a scholarship. Met some very nice people.

It's half and half man. Excited for 2011. I'll be 21 now. :) Woo bars all night on Cinco De Mayo.

[diethx]

It was okay I guess. I dunno, nothing really spectacular happened. I wish I could've gone home to see my family/friends, and I wish my gallbladder could've waited until I had insurance to need to come out, but otherwise it was a pretty normal, decent year.

[Paradii]

I am also unsure about the year.

It was my first year back in academia, which was a bit of an adjustment. My first field season went well in terms of data collection, but I did have some issues with morale of the crew. Got my grades back from the fall semester and they were adequate, but not noteworthy. I've been spending way too much time developing presentations, and not enough time deciding what my dissertation chapters are going to be.

I almost have my crew for next year hired, which is good. I've been getting to the gym a lot, which is also good.

I am still single, which is expected.

It's the first year where I have known what I am going to be doing for the next 5+ years, so that's a tad discerning. Makes me miss Hawaii.

I do have high hopes for next year though.

Edit: I think I have some cavities and I don't have dental insurance, so that's a bit of a hassle. I better get them taken care of though....

[Asha]

Hey dudes I'm like 5 hours ahead of you so technically I'm speaking to you from another year in the FUTURE!
It's awesome. No flying cars though.

[NocturnalRob]

I think I have some cavities
That's what you get for using organic toothpaste.

On the flip side, all that other stuff is good. So...par for the course?

I have to wait a few weeks to find out if everything I did in 2010 was worth the effort.

Is that when the HIV test comes back?

[Kuyuk]

I think 2010 was great overall.

Got a job closer to my son.

Got my international to visit and trying to get a longer term visit in the works.

Started a business, and sold a bunch of stuff to you guys :)

Got invited to be flown out to the superbowl to work the events leading up to it (turned them down though. :( )

[NocturnalRob]

Your mom said she was clean. I trust her. So do all my other friends.

[Rucca]

There was nothing spectacular about 2010 for me. It was a blur of work mixed with raising a child. Managed to remain single as well while the ex husband is on fiancee number two or three. I could say it's because I'm bitter and jaded, but I'm going to go with the "I'm picky" excuse.
I'm also working tonight, so I hope everyone has an awesome NEW YEAR!! :)

100 % Agreed.

[Androidpk]

2010 was a mixed bag for me. It started out with a bang when my throat decided it would be fun to ejaculate about 2 liters worth of blood out through my nose and mouth. Had my divorce finally finalized in the spring. Finally. Met a great girl that I thought was pretty awesome until I found out she was the most stuck up and self centered person I've ever met. Had a pretty kickass weeklong trip to DC where I got to meet a variety of highly influential people in the national security field. Moved from NH to MA to be closer to school and my new place is 1000x better. Started dating a hot asian girl only to find out she's married. Made some new cool/interesting friends.

Looking forward to 2011 :)

WTH, no flying cars?!? What about hoverboards?

[Delias]

I worked, I parented. I discovered the phenomenal joy of kayaking. In between I tried to find time for my friends. Another year that passed while I wasn't looking. Out with the old, in with the same.

P.S. I will never post in the boob thread. Sorry.

IMO a good wife would wake her husband with a little head. Unless your lucky, then it'd be big head. No matter how tired or how bad his night/day was before he will be thrilled and the insuing day will be amazing. Assuming you don't leave him with some Blue-ies instead of finishing your blowie.

Welcome back

I wish this quote was true, both have been utter crap for me. 2010 was my worst year of this decade by a long shot, and my worst year since 1997. It might even be my second worst year ever, behind that infamous '97. 2011 is already 2 1/2 hours old and I'm still up, because 2010 was the year the mild insomnia I had all through law school became full blown fuck-you-you're-not-sleeping insomnia.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Good riddance to bad rubbish, as my anglophile Indian relatives say.

[Wyrmx]

Great year for work and the kids. I suppose perfect would have been too greedy. 2011 should prove to be interesting indeed.
