First Observation of the New Year

[cyrano]

Every NYE I see a smattering of posts saying, essentially, oh thank god this year is over I hated it fuck you old year the new year had better be an improvement.
This is inevitable.
I have never compared to see how many of these posts are by the same people each year.
I cross my fingers and hope that very few of them are.
And then I step forward into the new year.

Yippie Ki Yay, Mister Falcon.

That's not where I'm going. Every year, some people are going to have a rough time of it. And a smaller subset of those people will have a year where the bad outweighs the good. And it's certainly possible, especially in harsh economic times, that some people have had the worst year of their lives ever.

I'm just hoping that I don't have a set of friends where every single year is the worst year of their lives, each year becoming worse and worse in an unending cavalcade of shit.

Because that would make me sad.

I don't think I've described any other year as the worst year I've ever had. Bad but not the worst.

Then I hope you see a complete reversal of fortune in the next 365, because it sounds like you've earned it.

Me too. And I hope you have an excellent year sir...in case I don't see you.
