Things I Hate About January...

. . . 'year-end' is never really year-end at my job. Numbers . . . and more numbers.

January is just a boring month.

Back to school. I miss my kids.

OTOH, it's quiet...

The cold weather is going to leave soon

Current unseasonable weather notwithstanding, it's generally the coldest month of the year. Also, icy. I dislike both.

Hours get cut at work, which means we aren't running at full staff even when we desperately need to be. Awesome.

The new semester starts, which reminds me that I need to sign up for classes still. I know. This week.

Recovering from vacay. It's hard to have to get your mind and body back to working mode. Gah.

It's getting warmer, being the middle of summer here. And I haven't yet gotten used to the fact that the year number has changed.

On the plus side, January is the only month I can say things like, "Hey, this milk has an expiration date in 2013! Cool!" without people thinking I'm completely bonkers.

because it's the end of holidays , drinks, fattening food, fun, you name it and y'know back to hard work

Having a birthday in January means registering and inspecting my vehicle and this year I have to renew my drivers license as well. All while trying to move and wondering where all this money is magically going to come from after the holidays!

Tax season starts.

I win. Lock the thread.



ETA: Oh, duh, Lavern beat me to it! DANG!

Deadlines.

...bills

Nine days into the new year and I've already paid over € 1.000 (road tax € 373, third-party insurance € 563, roadside assistance € 90). That's right, donations may be sent to: My bank
