What did you do in 2022 that you'd never done before?
I bought a car.

What date from 2022 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There wasn't one that stood out.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Driving my new car home.
What was your biggest failure?
I didn't fail, it was an impossible situation.
What's your biggest regret?
I know that I will look back on it and realize that I shouldn't have hoped for it to get better, tried so hard or put faith in my boss... but I'm not fully there yet.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Ovbi my co-workers getting fired... or now knowing the outcome getting an a apology from, honestly anyone at work, for just one single person to stand up and say "wow we really fucked this up".
Whose behavior merited celebration?
Mine. I kept it professional even though everyone else behaved like bitches and children.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Wow this is a sad one... even though I was in the situation that I was in at work with the bitches and child-behaving adults ... It's still Mel.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Was it all in my mind?
Was I lost in my own head?
Worrying about something I regret?
Is there anything I don't regret?
No, it's not just the memory of you
But it's all that comes with you
As the images start to stutter and skip
Disintegrating into sparks that glitch
There's a daemon in the server
And histories we cannot erase
You're so close and so far away
You're so close now
You're pouring fuel on the fire and I can't get enough
Fuel on the fire and now I'm burning up
Is it all in my mind?
Am I lost in my own head?
Worrying about something I should have said?
You're the only thing I don't regret
