It’s hard to believe that 2009 is already over. The end of the year is always a good time to acknowledge your accomplishments, looking back over the last 365 days to see where your journey has taken you.

That’s not what this post is about, however.

We’ve always preferred looking forward to backwards. In that fine Daggerfin spirit, we’d like to send 2009 off to the great beyond with the crew’s 2010 Resolutions. Some are work related. Some are slightly personal. But rest assured that all will be accomplished, because we don’t use the “f” word around here.

Lori Monacelli  |  Director, Project Management

“Mine is to actually take a lunch break a day or two per week.”

I’ve been here a little over a year, and have seen Lori take maybe two lunch-breaks. She’s like the energizer bunny of Project Management.

Todd Hughes  |  Creative Director

“If I were to pick a resolution I would have to say to blog more.”

Todd couldn’t wait for 2010 and actually tried to fight me to finish this very post. Charges will be filed.

Ryan Knoblock  |  Project Coordinator

“To Show (Censored) that I, in fact wear the pants in the relationship.”

Sadly, (Censored) is a digital construct and cares not for the pants of man.

Austin Bedell  |  Creative Director

“I want to stop using NeutraFace.”

I can see where he’s coming from.

Scott Hauman  |  Director, Brand Strategy

“1. Try not to use the words ‘trajectory’ and ‘touchpoint’ in every other sentence I recite.

2. Try not to get frustrated when Trudeau doesn’t respond to my emails”

We will all be watching very closely to see if Scott can hold true to these vows.

Michael Goliver  |  Designer

“To finally learn to use the Force to levitate small rocks, and then become some kind of Design-Jedi hybrid.”

The “finally” implies this is not the first year I’ve tried this.

Dan Corcoran  |  Designer

“Eat more food created for a targeted audience of 8 and under… oh, they have to be about work? Than eat more food created for a targeted audience of 8 and under… while at work.”

I don’t really know what to say to this. Next.

Seth Hay  |  Designer

“I resolve that for each successful design a client chooses, I will break out the monster size cassette boom box from the ’80s and break dance in the middle of the conference table. (Insert Beastie Boys song here).”

I believe this to be a sincere resolution, and greatly look forward to it coming true.

Aaron McGraw  |  Intern

“Initiate more office wide jam sessions.”

And on that note, cue the music.

—Michael
