My New Years resolution is 1080p

I'm working something like 10 hours of overtime next week. Tomorrow is my supervisor's last day at the company, and he'll be spending his last day doing annual performance reviews. It seems to be like he got tricked into complicating his tax return, but I guess ultimately I'm pleased to get my review from a guy who has already learned to find me amusing rather than abrasive and contemptuous of company policy. Everything seems to be going well toward my plan to work from home. Notwithstanding, that is, the home.

Which brings me to the main part of my plan for 2011. Back in Minneapolis by March. As of Wednesday, I will be 30 years old and living in my parents' basement. It's an arbitrary milestone, but it's an unseemly one just the same. So, for the next two months, my plan is to spend as much time at home and at work as humanly possible (exceptions to be made for birthdays, etc.) If I send you a text inviting you out to a bar, tell me to go home until I can invite you over to my apartment.

Usually, I'm quite skilled at sleep-walking through a period of several weeks in order to reach a goal unreachable by any means other than persistence. The start of the new academic semester will make it easier to keep my head down and my expenses low. There's a lot of TV to be watched.

Seems like a good time to get a few more entries in on my various other abandoned blogs, too.

Wish me luck, and buy me a drink next Saturday.
