What's your new years resolution?

Yes, this is the one and only post for December. I do feel a little embarrassed to be saying that, after all I said in the last few months about keeping in touch with your customers, and perseverance, and good manners, and customer service, and staying on top of it all and ... well, you get the picture.

My aim for 2008 (is that a new year resolution?) is to get consistent comments on my blog, and more feedback from our online and offline networking. I know that's going to take more work on my part, I will try and keep up with it.

Quite a few SPEEDsters have up and left Nottingham for the Christmas holiday, so we'll be seeing them all again in the New Year, refreshed and full of energy! Phil and I have been planning some sessions for the next term after what we hope was the success of the financials session.

I am looking forward to next year, I can't believe I'll be celebrating one year at the Hive (as well as my birthday) at the beginning of February. Life in the University has been great, I was a little culture shocked when I first came, but the edges have rubbed off me and I am a little more forgiving now. Things still appear to move at a snail's pace, but they do move. I think they might go a little faster in 2008. I am determined to make the 2nd year of the SPEED project a success , to hopefully extend it past the pilot phase. Should be fun!

Anyhow, the University is closed for Christmas week, therefore Hive will close on 21st December until 2nd January. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and look forward to working with you in 2008!

Oh, and join us in Second Life in 2008
