New Year’s Resolutions

Calvin and Hobbes

As this is primarily a professional blog, I will not blather on about resolutions to eat less and exercise more in the new year, though I certainly intend to do those things.

This article is about the professional resolutions for improvement that I intend to make in the new year and I will tag a couple other people to do the same.

Without further ado, here are my New Year’s resolutions:

1. I will continue to pursue SQL mastery, and find more ways to utilize that knowledge in my current position.
2. I’ve recently started writing for another online SQL site which I will name after my first article has been “published.”
3. I will study SQL Reporting Services to compliment my skills with Crystal Reports.
4. I will pursue some kind of real time dashboarding solution for my current employer and gain skills in that area.
5. Lastly, I purchased Rosetta Stone and intend to learn Japanese. I don’t know if it will impact my career, but I’ve always wanted to learn it. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

I am going to tag two SQL Server experts who I greatly respect, and hope that they will continue the chain.

Do any of my readers have any New Year’s Resolutions to share?
