Since I tend to ACTUALLY KEEP MINE!

Anyway, what are yours?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last year mine were to get a good job, a new apartment, and to drop to at least a size 16 from a 24/26.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of these:

Damn, did I get a job that pays well for the hours I do! But I need more of a challenge. My resumé's getting sent to someone this week.

I have a pretty damned nice apartment now with every amenity I could ask for. Multiples of them actually. Can't complain about the naked hot-tubbing.

And I DID go to a 16, past is to a 14, and in some things, a 12.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So my resolutions for 2007:

To hit the $100K/yr. mark (I'm kinda close, but I don't think quite close enough, to make it this year, maybe 2008).

To lose 70 pounds. Preferably by summer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I'm doing to get there:

I'm straight-up going to ask for more money in February since my position can't easily be filled. I know everyone feels irreplaceable when most of us are, but seriously, I do about 30% of the work for my department and it would be a pain to replace me. And since a co-worker is also in with me on this.... I also take on any projects, nay, I seek them out!, then kick ass.

And I'm fasting, downing ephedra, and spending time at the gym at my apartment complex. 3.9 pounds in three days isn't too bad! I have a massive headache, but will live. And I'll be rejoining ballet and jazz in January, as well as hip hop, in addition the the ice skating I'm already doing. My tentative schedule (http://aria-star.livejournal.com/327109.html).


So your resolutions and how you plan to reach them!

Whos a what?

That's why you're at $7.95 per hour. :)

Seriously, it wasn't until this job I have now that I broke the $8/hr point, and I shattered it. Last raise I asked for I got and it was for more than half your salary. Ask your boss for a raise. If he or she says no, don't be afraid to start looking for another job.

And you're 18, right. When I was 18, I was making $6/hr and felt fortunate since I had co-workers at $5.15/hr. Hence why I quit and started my own little business. Make a plan and stick to it.

My New Years resolution is 1600x1200. Okay, I know: bad joke. My real resolutions are to save money and not blow it on stupid shit (want to save up for a Wii or a 360). Also to drop a few pounds.
