December 31st. My New Year’s resolution: To get in shape. A classic. What better way to start the new year than by taking life by the horns and improving oneself?

He must have woken up from the procedure first and fled. I tried to blink the fuzziness from my eyes. What possessed me to do this? Initially, even I didn’t think it could be done.

It’s almost time to leave the office for the day when your coworker approaches. The one you don’t like because they seem to know everything and have a holier than thou attitude about it. They are constantly on the prowl at the end of the day looking for some poor colleague to distract for the last 15 minutes of the workday to ensure they can’t finish whatever they were working on before quitting time. Today that person is you. They lean into your cubicle with a cold cup ...
