Being able to use “I’m 60” to complain about everything and use it as an excuse to get out of things I don’t want to do
I have a test to become an air traffic controller coming up in December. If I pass I'll have the interview and school to look forward to next year.
- At work - recruiting another team member, so we are not all constantly plate spinning and I might actually have chance to spend time planning.
- At home - finally getting the pictures etc up on the walls.
- Nationally - voting the Tories out.
Finding employment
The job market has been unbelievably brutal this last year
come out, maybe?
Hope it goes well!
Hopefully putting myself out there more. I have a spinning and weaving guild that I've joined, but I've been too burnt out to go to any of the meetings. 😓
You go to that, I'll go to the cross stitch group I've been avoiding out of general nervousness. Deal?
Deal. 💙
2024 we are coming to conquer you!
I hope that orange bastard Trump goes to prison or dies in 2024. I prefer prison because he needs to pay for his crimes, but dead is good too. The only thing is it would have to be a really dumb accident out in public so there wouldn’t be any conspiracy theories. Maybe he could fall off the stairs while getting off his plane and crack his skull on the tarmac.
Being able to say "oh that was x+1 years ago" instead of "x years ago" when reflecting on all my past traumas.
A miracle keeping the orange fuhrer out of politics and news, perhaps a conviction with actual time to be served. I know, I’m calling for a miracle as I said.
I’m really excited to start working with the engineers at work to learn how to rework the broken boards that go in the products we produce. I don’t know much about electronics and I’ve certainly never been to college, but I’ve apparently displayed an aptitude for understanding stuff so they wanna work with me to get the ball rolling. They’ve been able to convince management that my bench in the RMA department needs all the equipment a rework station should have. It’s all super exciting and I can’t wait to start.
Finishing my bathroom remodel then starting on my kitchen
Trading in my Kia for a new (non Hyundai/Kia) car so I can stop being stressed of coming out to an empty parking spot in the morning.
I’ll be getting my PhD in the Spring! Hopefully I’ll have a job lined up before graduating.
Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.
Don't get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it's gonna get better any time soon.
The obvious impending economic collapse.
Because boy, if it doesn't come, we're all pretty fucked.
Moving my family back home after caring for an elderly parent for 3 years.

Perhaps 2024 will be the year of the girlfriend

Making money over the summer and upgrading to a faster motorcycle
Getting back surgery (and fixing the problem, instead of, like, not ever being able to walk again). Then getting the green light at work so I can start work on a project I've proposed. And lastly, getting one of my side projects past the finish line.
I got tired of jumping around between streaming services to get deals and save money. I noticed that a couple major music streamers seemed to collude to raise rates at the same time, and I'm tired of that. I'm setting up my Plex server with some Black Friday deals and am looking forward to enjoying having that at my disposal.
My Apollo plush arriving.
Either die or get a job. Not picky on which one.
Monkeypaw: You die and get the position of ferryman ushering souls across the river Styx.
getting a job and socializing more
Going skiing and visiting hot springs in Japan
Starting to restore a 1964 corvette
Maybe learning to paint pottery
Nothing huge yet.

Got a milestone birthday coming up but not sure what to do for it, once I have plans that'll be something exciting.
-
I've been working on learning gamedev as a hobby for a couple years and hope to release my first proper actual commercial game next year too which is pretty cool.
-
No holidays planned as of yet but we normally do that over the Christmas hols.
-
Also we may or may not get a dog.
I need more things for this list lol
I'm starting a new job in January, which will give me financial stability and job security for the first time in years. It means I can go back to University and pursue my dream of becoming a zoologist, heck I'll even be able to take a holiday with my girlfriend without worrying about rent!
