Year End Statistics Roundup
This year was pretty awesome. It was my first full year as a real employee, I started contributing to my 401k, and for a brief period, I had my credit cards entirely paid off. I had a girlfriend, I started taking better care of myself, and I now have a semi-decorated apartment. Downsides: my car drastically declined in value, pushing my net worth down 15% of year end of 2008. Lets take a look at the numbers:
2009 (Numerically)
- I performed 2,643 pushups, an infinite increase over the previous year.
- I finished 7,160 crunches, another near-infinite increase over the previous year.
- I completed 101 games of bowling; I raised my average from a 120 something to a 160-something, a 33% increase.
- I was an average of 6 minutes late for work. Sadly this totals for 23 hours of missed morning work. Good thing I stay late. My goal for next year is to reduce this number to a 3-minutes-late average.
- I weigh an average 184 pounds in the morning, 186 in the evening. I apparently carry about 2 pounds of easily removed water weight.
- I drank a total of 346 days out of 365. In other terms, I spent 94.87% of my days last year imbibing at least one alcoholic beverage. Increased contact with family could not be mathematically correlated due to measuring techniques.
- I lived in 3 different apartments in two different cities.
- I had a real girlfriend for 5 months, a length that hasn’t been equaled since 2005.
Overall, I think I did pretty well. For this year, I would give myself an awesomeness of:
This is score is composed of:
- Drinking – 40%
- Financial Security – 20%
- Fitness – 20%
- Having a Girlfriend – 20%
- Fudge Factor – 10% (I rated myself a 2 out of a possible 10)
Plans for 2010
These statistics, of course, only serve as a baseline. For the next year, I have different goals and different aspirations, and my awesomeness will be computed based on the following factors:- Drinking – 16.67%
- Awesomeness - 33% (variable factor, 10 point self-assessment)
- Girlfriend – 16.67%
- Fitness – 16.67%
- Professionalism – 16.67%
Using these weight factors, I hope to bring my awesomeness to around 80-85%. I’m not going to aim for the top just yet, I just want to be better than average.
Happy New Year.
