2004 Retrospect
It still feels like I wrote last year’s retrospect just yesterday. I set some pretty aggressive goals for myself that resulted in a very work-filled year. Although I did accomplish a lot, looking back there wasn’t really that much of a balance. Work filled the year, nothing much done for a social life.
Now don’t get me wrong, It was a great year with many things to look back on. I bought a car for one; I never thought i would be capable of buying a new car (READ: too cheap and scared of debt). But there it is, sitting in the parking lot outside. I started a new job at Vancouver Film School and left Bodwell. This caused a lot of stress; good stress mind you, but stress nonetheless. I got moved up the corporate ladder, I’m now a super lemming which means, less coding and more leading. I’m really starting to get a feel for yelling the phrase: “You! Go get me a latte!!” I also started to get a feel for managing my business. I learned a lot about writing mean and nasty emails that quote deadlines and other scary figures that end with the phrase: “I don’t care how you get it done, just get it done!” Oh yea, I also bought an Ibook, an Ipod, a Clio, a new cellphone …. the list goes on and on.
So what are my plans for next year? I don’t know. I’m sitting here trying to put together my 2005 year goals and I’m drawing a blank right now. Oh well, I’ll come up with something… or nothing. See ya next year kiddies. Be safe!
