NOVEMBER 1st. However much people hate to say it, the year is closing. Already it feels like the new year for most of us. At work we must close down our expense accounts and reset our charge numbers, it's all very complex, but for the most part it just means that the two- thousand- and- nine fiscal year is over. Already as we set up our new accounts, e-mails are being sent out saying, "don't forget to charge time for this account... etc, the year is over" they even call it two- thousand- and- ten already!! I personally enjoy the new year. Especially at this time of year. You're looking ahead to a new year and what you can see is a pleasant holiday season and the start of a new year. Its all very exciting. This is my favorite time of year, everything is preparing itself for the hardest time of year, although also the most restorative time of year if you ask me. Its the time with family and friends that people are always looking forward to, and I guess even if you don't look forward to spending time with the family, its still good for you. Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away, and Christmas will be here before you know it, and Auld Lang Sine will be ringing in your ears in two short months. As the year closes and we look back, hopefully all we see is another hopeful year ahead. It still seems so fast for me. Things just seem to keep going faster and faster. I'm not really sure when it will slow down, probably never. O well, I'm sure I will get over that soon enough. Well anyway, that was just something that I felt like everybody should know, because, hey, who doesn't like the holidays?? besides all you crazy people out there who have no life, not like I'm judging or anything...
