Dates and Numbers


What does it help that the calendar has changed. Yes, it's a new year and a new cycle. But does that really cause any significant change in a person's life from day to day?

The big 2008 has come. It's going to be an election year, so that will affect some people. There is a new fiscal calendar and that will affect others. But by and large, years come and go, months come and go, and people's individual daily lives are not affected by the calendar numbers.

I have to figure out how to file certain technical papers for some projects that I'm working on. And frankly, it is a real pain. Because I'd rather not be the one responsible for it, and I would rather not have to figure out all of its intricacies. The deadline is coming and the burden rests upon my weary shoulders.

But hey, it is a new year. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be.
