12. Today, apparently, is the day I ruined several peoples New Years resolutions. I learned not to bring in two tins of sweets and chocolates to work. And Hazelnut Whirls hurt when hurled at you by someone who plays camogie.

13. Boss man is still a wanker. Miracles do not happen overnight, nor do they happen over Christmas. Bah. Humbug.

14. Realised why my brother is moving to a different town. He's got a new girlfriend who lives even further away than it. Think he is trying to tell us something but I can't quite put my finger on it.

15. Cheap nail varnish is worth less than you paid for it.

16. My cousins 3 year old chocolate stealing girl no longer likes me. Boo Hoo.

17. If you leave work for a week and a half...it does build up. And my boss has no problem with approaching me knowing that I have a week and a half worth of work to catch up on, tell me I am now the proud owner of a new project, I'm covering reception while the silly mares go and celebrate someones birthday and would I mind having that report she didn't bother telling me about ready by tomorrow morning.

18. The death stare does not work any more. See Above.

19. Hold a six month old baby for any longer than five minutes and you will be covered in drool. No matter how cute baby is.

20. My car is a heap of shite and people will honk at you if your car decides to completely lose all power in the middle of a junction. It is also impossible to get a reliable garage to work on your car directly after New Year.
