Farewell George

We will miss you and your words of wisdom that bring tears to our eyes.

• 'The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.'
• 'If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.'
• 'One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is’to be prepared'.'
• ‘I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.'
• ‘The future will be better tomorrow.'
• ‘We're going to have the best educated American people in the world.'
• ‘I stand by all the misstatements that I've made.'
• ‘We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe . We are a part of Europe ’
• ‘Public speaking is very easy.'
• ‘A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.'
• ‘I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.'
• ‘We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.'
• ‘For NASA, space is still a high priority.'
• ‘Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.'
• ‘It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.'

annual resolutions

Along with the new year ... one tries to do the annual resolutions. For people like me that do not smoke or drink, face a 'difficulty' of what these resoultions can be :)

My resolutions were mainly 2 ... stop nail biting and manage my time better. I am afraid that the latter will be an easier task after i found a good tool on the net. It tracks my activities automatically (when on my computer) with no Internet connection required :)

It is tracking ALL my activities whether blog updating or chatting with my friends. Since my life is pretty busy (working and studying) i am finding the time sheet very helpful. Using this feature, i can now know how much time i spent studying for my ACCA and how much time on facebook.

Beware, this will be available for the business use soon .... so if the boss decides to install this on your servers, he will be able to see all the stuff you are doing ... anytime. What i suggest is this .... download it now so you can train yourself before they install it at work ;)
