New Year's Resolutions for RX-8 owners...

Ok guys, Christmas is behind us, so anybody out there still making new year's resolutions? Personally, my resolutions are threefold: (1) To continue learning as much about my 8 as I can (Being a member of this forum has helped a lot)
(2) Wash my 8 every two to three weeks with waxing when warranted ( 3) To lose 30 pounds so my 8 isn't embarrassed about being seen with me!

I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but I suppose I could come up with some.

I think I should work harder, since work is actually tracking my hours now (digital time cards). Not that it matters. I only claim 40 hours a week, work 80, which means I have to set alarms to remind me to punch my time card in and out so I fit within my scheduled time slots. Otherwise the system screams that I did something wrong and my work supervisor has to manually correct my time card so corporate won't scream about paying me overtime. I get paid by what I do, not by the hour. Besides, when my check shows my approximate hourly pay after calculating my line count against my hours it looks like I make huge money!!! Which is great when I take time off pay.

I guess I should try not to be so difficult for my supervisor since she approved me to still work my usual amount even though corporate rules don't specifically approve. Fortunately, it is at her discretion. Besides, if I didn't do all that work they would have to hire at least two more people to make up for me. Yeah!!! I am #1 producer out of over 13,000 employees, which is why they are more accommodating to me.

1. Buy my wife better presents since she give me three signed first editions of my favorite authors and all I got her was a sweater and shirt.

2.wash my 8 more then once per month since its now black instead of blue.

3. finally figure out how to get my 7 running since its been in the garage for over a month.

I only have one:

1) Stay out of the lounge. I've been keeping this resolution for the last week or three, and my life is much improved.
