Every year, for the past 10+ years, I have looked back at the year that passed and summed up the major changes in my life and any particular achievements. There have been career shifts, getting married and giving birth, climbing mountains, moving from one country to another, learning new technologies, taking up new hobbies etc.

This year I look back and I can’t point to anything memorable that I have achieved, learned, or experienced. I do useful work, but nothing I do is remarkable either from the company’s point of view or for me personally. I cannot say that I have moved forward from where I was standing the same time last year. And last year was equally dull careerwise, but at least there was the birth of Adrian to remember.

Something has to change in 2012.
