2008: The Year of the Jim

In 2008, Jim's birthday is falling on 08/08/08. So this has been dubbed "Jim's Year".

What does this mean for me, since it is ultimately all about me? Let's put this in perspective, shall we?

1994 & 1995: The years of being nice to Jim

1996 thru 1999: The years of weekly alternating between nice and cantankerous to Jim

2000 thru 2002: The years of being mediocre (mostly nice... debatable) to Jim

2003 thru 2005: The years of being completely hellish to Jim (grad school... it was hard for all of us)

2006: The year of downgrading to just being mean to Jim

2007: The year of not being mean to Jim (that was hard)

2008: The year of being nice to Jim

So far... keep in mind it is day 1... I am doing pretty well, but it is seriously creeping Jim out. What does 2009 hold for poor Jim? I think I will break him in slowly and just not be mean again.
