Have
any of you stuck to your New Years Resolutions???
I will try to figure out why I "really" need 12 e-mail addresses.
I will stop sending e-mail to my wife (husband). A phone call every now
and then would be appreciated.
I resolve to work with neglected children -- my own.
I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer
my e-mail.
I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone
at the same time with the same person.
I resolve to back up my 12 GB hard drive daily...well, once a week...okay,
monthly then...or maybe... at least once a year.
I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course,
will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.
I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning... 4:30 is much
more practical since my friends overseas already had time to answer me
by then.
When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"
I will read the manual... just as soon as I can find it.
I will think of a password other than "password."
I resolve... I resolve to... I resolve to, uh... I resolve to, uh, get
my, er... I resolve to, uh, get my, er, off-line work done, too!
