So What Stuck?

1. Update my blog at least once per week.
-> Obviously not.

2. Make a meaningful and deliberate attempt at a good deed each week.
-> Still working on that one. It's a good one to keep in mind. I'll keep at it.

3. Work out on the Wii Fit every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for at least 10minutes each time, and for at least a half hour once each weekend.
-> Lasted for about a month. I would blame my wife for this, but I can't hold her accountable for the times when she wasn't home and I chose to play Mass Effect instead of working out. I still want to get back to a regular schedule, but it's problematic, since the Wii is hooked up to the big TV, which my wife likes to watch in the evenings, and I don't like working out in the morning.

4. Follow the Weight Watchers program until I lose 40 pounds.
-> The less said the better.

5. Return all business calls and correspondence within one business day.
-> still doing this!

6. Whenever I notice myself making excuses not to do something I should do, I will immediately do that thing.
-> Yeah, not so much.

So what have I been doing? Well, as I mentioned, Mass Effect 2 came out in late January, and I played it through several times. I think I'm finally done with it, at least until Bioware comes out with some new content for it.

I took another HR course, Strategic Compensation, which I thought would be really boring stuff and I couldn't figure out how they'd fill a 39 hour course with it. I turned out to be wrong. I found the content and strategy quite interesting and useful, but the course delivery was just the perfect storm of annoyances. The instructor, while knowledgeable and well-meaning, is not engaging at all, and cannot hold the attention of the class. Add to that a few classmates that enjoy going off on unrelated rants to no purpose, and the fact that the teaching materials were not updated with the new textbook, and you have the reason that I have attended less than half the classes. I should still pass the course however. The instructor gave us study notes that basically give you the test in advance.
