Well, the last day of the work year has arrived - Friday, December 30, 2011.
No fanfare, no cakes, no balloons. I thought I saw a conga line starting to form a few minutes ago on the first floor......but I was wrong. Just folks going about their business.
It should to be a very quiet day if the first two hours are an indication. No telephone calls, no walk-in's, just a few random emails.
So it's a good day to look over the collection of letters, memo's, reports, and other assorted papers and notes covering the desktop, update the to-do list, get the 2012 calendar of events current, and just get ready for the new year.
My wish to each of you is that 2012 is the best year ever. However you measure "best" - may you reach and surpass it next year. It may take some work, effort, good fortune, and a little luck - but you can get there if you put your mind to it and focus on making it happen.
I think 2012 will be a good year for Bristol - the signs are pointing in the right direction. It will take some work, effort, good fortune, and a little luck - but we can get there too. We're focused on it.
