Drew’s Worst of 2009

Along with the Best of 2009 comes the worst:

Worst Monthly Focus – Closure
The intent for December was to wrap up a few loose ends before the end of the year.  I didn’t do any of them.

Worst Weekly Project – Write 8 Chapters
This wins for Worst Weekly Project because I didn’t come close to accomplishing it–I didn’t even start the project.  It was a poor decision that led to poor results.

Worst Decision – Not Doing Personal Backups
I made the mistake of not doing personal backups at work (relying, instead, on a web-based version).  When my harddrive failed over the holiday break, I had no backups to pull from and am still without my email from the last 3 months.

Worst Personal Undevelopment – Ignoring Commitments to Myself
In the second half of the year, I really slipped when it came to honoring commitments to myself.  I planned on doing something, would start it, but then never finish it (just look at the reviews of some of my weekly projects or monthly focuses).  I have a rejuvenated spirit towards getting things done, so here’s to making 2010 a better year of accomplishment.

Worst Improv Show – College Group
I saw a college group perform that wasn’t very good (no, it wasn’t 8th Floor).  There was so much denial, lots of references to genitalia, and a huge lack of commitment.  It was not a good use of 30 minutes.

Worst Improv Performance – Slapstick Picnic at The Creek
I don’t know what it was about this show, but I did nothing to make it better or even mediocre.  The rest of the group members helped keep some semblance of humor in the show, but I did not.  Luckily an hour later I was able to redeem myself with one of my favorite shows of the year.

Worst Movie I Saw – Uncertainty
My least favorite movie of 2009 was Uncertainty, with Joseph Gordon Levitt.  It had a great premise regarding how the choices we make lead to entirely different circumstances, it just wasn’t well executed or well told.

Worst Book I Read – None
I’m happy to say that all of the books I read this year were valuable in one or another.
