January 3, 2006 oops, I mean 07!

OK, this is a dumb thing, I know but I really hate January. I truly dislike the month of January because it means I have to spend an entire 31 days getting used to a new number at the end of my date. After 11 good long months of doing something a certain way, you kind of get attached to it.

For instance, at work. I'm sitting there, getting in my groove, filling in information on my spreadsheets when suddenly it occurs to me that for the last 50 odd lines I've been entering the date as 01/03/06. Not a big thing, I know. Simply make the change once and then do a copy down the column, right? That's not the point. It's simply the realization that it's not 2006 anymore and I can't just go on auto pilot anymore. Can you even imagine, me, having to actually commit my brain to doing my job? I know, the nerve!

Lesson to self, apparently we don't like change!

I told you it was a dumb thing but it's the thing that I felt like talking about today!

Hope you're being more successful with the transition than me!
