New Years Resolutions?
- Thread starter epicstruggle
- Start date
I was thinking more along the lines of creating a forum section called "LOL", giving you posting rights to nowhere but there, and making it invisible to everyone else but you and Reverend. And maybe Vysez. Vysez is good at maths. You'd like it thereBy that I hope you mean you're going to take my hand in marriage.

Stick with it, in a few days you'll feel 1000% better.
So you learned something from this weeks episode? That's neat.
www.beyondmaths.comA maths forum would be *really* lovely.
Anyway, back in On Topicland my resolution this year is the same as it was last year, ie. to stop making New Years Resolutions. Oh that and to find a new job!
Smoking 50 cigarettes a day when did you find time to do anything?
That's one every half hour round the clock.
Or one every 19 waking minutes (assuming you're awake ~16 hours a day)

I used to do a 2-1/2 pack a day habit too and it isn't that hard Russ. Hell, if you chain smoke you can do 3-4 cigarettes in a half hour.
It isn't like you can't do other things while smoking either, at least back then it wasn't. I worked in an office where smoking was the norm and it would just get bloody foggy in there some days.

Reading that made me laugh at first, then I felt really old because I could relate to that situation. Ah, what a testament to the times.
My resolution is to be less confrontational on and offline. I'm sure you all would love that and my infractions would remain motionless at 1
Good luck to everyone on fulfilling your resolutions.
I'm currently working on my thesis for university... I smoked at my desk.

Ain't it?
After I wrote I smoked in an office I felt I had to explain that used to be the norm as it's such a no-no now. Man, we had our ashtrays so over-filled they'd be spilling out on the paperwork.

Remember that the rest of the world is a couple of yours behind wrt smoking restrictions. For example, there is no ban of smoking in public buildings yet in Germany... at my university, there are ashtrays in the hallways, stairways and restrooms...
Ahh, that's true. Here at work, it would be a 5 minute trip outside, then smoke, then back.
I'm seriously looking forward to 1st July this year when smoking in enclosed public spaces will be banned here in the UK (or in England, at least). It will be very nice to wake up after a night out without smelling like the inside of an ashtray! :smile:
Good luck to those giving up smoking - a friend of mine quit for about 10 months last year with the assistance of nicotine lozenges. Only problem was that the idiot never even tried to quit the lozenges and eventually started smoking again towards the end of the year! No willpower that lad.
Going cold turkey is probably the best way.

I'm not a fan of new year resolutions but my quasi-one is to lose weight. I've slipped back up over 200 with my birthday, vacation, thanksgiving, and the other holidays, and with a 3.5yo child and a 4-month pregnant wife my age of 42 makes me more aware of the need to maintain my health and overall physical fitness.
My second resolution is to continue looking for a new job so I can escape the black hole created by The Malignant Prick.
