The worst bit of a new year

axisus · January 2017

I get so fed up with everyone saying 'Happy New Year'. It's all over Facebook, people writing it, putting up pictures of it, putting up videos of it. Everyone 'liking' everyone else's posts and Commenting 'Happy new year' back. I'm sick of it already.

Then I'm back to work tomorrow. It's a big building and from past experience I will have to endure around 3 weeks of people in corridors saying 'Happy new year'. Some will say it on two or three occasions stating that they can't remember if they have already said it.

I want a T-shirt that says:

"Yes, it's another year"
"Yes, we are all happy as a grinning moron"
"Let's assume we know those two things and dispense with the need to actually say it"

Boy I'm such a grumpy old git

I don't get it either. I just look at people and say "what have you got to be cheerful about? You're one year nearer the grave than the last time you wished me happy New Year and you have 12 fewer pay days (assuming your paid monthly) to save for your retirement"

That usually wipes the smile off their faces ... :-)

Happy new year!

I'm going to forget my password again.

Only 3 weeks? Pfft, lightweights! I managed to get someone on leap year day last year.

Its just another day, just because some Roman decided to start the 365 count again doesn't make it any more relevant. FFS its not even as if we are at the winter solstice.

Just go outside and stare at the stars and then remember a year is irrelevant to everything you see. Its about as insightful as saying 'Have a Nice Day'.

You know what I refuse to say?

Phrases like "good morning."

Yes, I know it's morning, but it's like a cult to say the same thing like that.

The Good Morning Cult!

I say "hello."

I am going to write 2016 by mistake on most documents I'll be making my signature on at work...

oh... @axisus - Happy New Year mate! ;-) I just don't pay attention to stuff like that. Social convention, it is what it is. Smile and just imagine that you won't have to listen to stuff like that until Easter time (unless Valentines is big in your work).

I've never really seen the point of new year being a thing. It's just another arbitrary point in space, and it's not even linked to some prior historical anniversary but people go nuts for it.

BRISTOL86 · January 2017

Going on a lovely hol next week so am back to work with a huge grin already today!

Howdy, Stranger!
