New Year's Realisations
It's with a shudder of horror that I remove myself from my desk and realise that we have successfully emigrated from 2016 into 2017, and with a choke of disgust I realise this means I'm going to have to remember to write '2017' when I sign something, because it wasn't hard enough already.
So let's raise our glasses, half full or half empty, and ring in the new year togther, and collectively pray that this year will have less death than the previous year.
All in all 2016 was like living in a Looney Tunes cartoon that ran on too long and got too stupid to be taken seriously anymore. I'm all for a bit of Bugs Bunny before I watch 'The Godfather', but when Bugs is still sitting there, as Don Corleone is gunned down in the street, it gets a bit awkward, and you start wondering when you should ask Bugs to leave.
If you missed the point of that beautiful metaphor, I'm saying 2016's negative events hang around like a bad smell even in 2017, so let's crack open some drinks and get so wasted we forget the entire previous year.
Happy New Year planet Earth, don't screw this one up like you did the last one.
