We might as well pack up and go home. There’s no value left in this year.
I realised that the best days of 2006 were behind us on the 11th of January. Up to that point the year held great promise but it’s all gone now. I should have recognised the signs but I didn’t.
On the 11th of January I wandered into the local shopping centre and noticed that the big calendar shop in the middle of the centre had signs up everywhere saying 75% off everything. Even in the days before that they had reduced their stock by 50% but 75%, that’s huge. All diaries and all calendars are now selling for just a quarter of their original price.
I grabbed myself a twenty one dollar calendar for my office pin up board for a little over five dollars. It was a great saving but it got me thinking. If all the remaining days in the calendar are only worth 25% of the price of a calendar, the first 10 days must have been worth the other 75%. That’s a lot of pressure for the first 10 days of the year. Do the calendar retailers know something we don’t?
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to make the most of the rest of 2006 as I eagerly await the first 10 glorious days of 2007.

hehehe what a CRAZY thought… but it’s logical, isn’t it? Still, I’m all about getting my moneys worth so I might stick with the rest of the year, even if it is worth 25% of $1.95 (what can I say? I’m cheap)
That’s a good point; I wonder if it’s a sliding scale of worthy days?
I’m thinking there are enough days worth minus amounts to increase the worth of all the other days. For instance, the day I have to spend doing taxes is a negative worth day, and therefore the day after improves in value.
