While most of you are thinking about your goals for the upcoming year, I am going through emails and semi-anonymous notes from friends and family members that offer suggestions of what I should do in 2008.
Here, apparently, is my list of restitutions for 2008:
- Do not refer to hours or aimless web surfing as “entrepreneurial and small business research.”
(Thanks kids!) -
I’d appreciate you not telling the mailman to “wear a girdle” when he complains about the weight of packages delivered to the house.
(This is a toss up. Could be my husband, or the mailman. Maybe both. Men are such schemers.) -
Do not continually use your blog as a forum to make fun of men.
(My bet is on the Sloan brothers for this one.) -
Quit calling former boss’s work number and laughing hysterically on voice mail.(Well, everyone else thinks the boss is a joke.)
-
The iMac is not a Barbie computer!
(Eww. Must’ve touched a nerve with Satan, my web developer.) -
You can not trademark the term, “jerkwad”; nor can you patent a boot as a, “jerk removal method and system.”
(Hmmm… Maybe the folks at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Organization???)It seems like I have my hands full in 2008!
Have a great new year!
