On Sucking It Up, And Stepping Up

by DruidX

I may have mentioned this before, but the one thing that 2011 taught me is that, by turns, I am too reactive and whiny, and not as assertive as I should be. Enough people (station people, my boss, my husband etc) have said this to me that I’m being forced to accept that they might be right.

But, instead of bitching about it, I’m going ‘man the fuck up’ (as Wizzo so aptly puts it), accept there is something lacking with me and get on and do something about it. I want to be a better person – someone who gets on and fixes what broke instead of wingeing about; someone who expects results and kicks ass when they don’t happen; someone who does what’s needed of them with minimun fuss and a quick turn around; someone who doesn’t just sit around waiting for life to happen; somone who others can look up to.

I don’t know yet how I’m going to make it happen, but I have confidence in myself that I will. That’s half the battle right there. As a little green muppet once said, ‘do or do not, there is no try.’ So I’m going to do, and see where it takes me.

Don’t wish me luck, I’m gonna be making my own ;)

Obligatory New Years Post

by DruidX

TBH last year seems to be a bit of a whirl now, I don’t really remember much.

It was the year we mourned the passing of GRN and celebrated the opening of G3 Radio, and meeting all the G3 staff at i43. It was the year we had our first joint holiday with the Sullivans for ages, and the year my brother got a new g/f. It was the year Andy learnt to drive, and I resigned as Dorset ML after failing to ‘win’ Nanowrimo for the second time.

I’m sure plenty of other stuff happened, but those are the key things that stick out in my mind.

One of the other things that sticks out in my mind is getting called out on my attitude to things. I came across an interesting article today: 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself which I identified with waaay to much.

So my resolution for 2012 is simply this:
To become an all-round better person.

I know it’s going to be hard work, and I mean mostly in my attitude to things, and my way of thinking about life in general, but I’m going to add the usual ‘eat healthier, exercise more’ etc in there too. But mostly I don’t want to be that person everyone bitches about behind her back because she sucks so bad.

Anyway, I think that wraps it up for my obligatory new year’s post and I shall get back to blogging regularly again now the holidays are over and life is a bit more calm again :)
