So much for resolutions.
Every year I make the same one, and every year it goes up in flames hours into the new year.
My goal? I want to curse less. Oh, I’m usually pretty good in public. In fact, I’m on my best behavior. But little things have a tendency to drive me over the edge, with a resultant blue streak emanating from my mouth.
I should be better than that, and I will vow to work on it in 2009.
Unfortunately, I also work at a newspaper, and I find myself up to my neck each day in technology. It gets a bit more complicated every day, juggling between print and online work. What used to be a single deadline each day now is a never-ending series of races to get information to our readers online.
Sometimes I feel like roadkill on the information superhighway.
And when the technology we depend on to pull off these daily miracles – both online and in print – act up, well, let’s just say I can make a sailor blush.
This morning for whatever reason I could not get a story I wanted to post to display properly on our Web site. You’d have thought the world was ending.
I vow to do better this year.
Maybe I’ll start tomorrow.
