Realistic New Year's Resolutions for computer users

Here are some realistic (tongue-in-cheek) New Year's resolutions for computer users. 
  • Stop bringing lunch to work and eat out more.  Your desk has 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet, and food crumbs are bad for your computer keyboard.
     
  • Eat breakfast every day.  You need the coffee and donuts to stay awake while staring at the computer screen all morning.
     
  • Be flexible with your exercise routine.  Skip some days so you can watch the Lord of the Rings movies again.  You need to get psyched for the new Hobbit movie, right?
     
  • Put on 20 pounds.  This will be easy considering the above three resolutions.
     
  • Buy all new clothes. See above resolution to put on weight.
     
  • Reduce swearing at the computer to less than five times per day.
     
  • Have a few drinks every night with dinner to deal with the stress of not cursing at the computer.  Wine does have some health benefits.
     
  • Get a second job to pay for the restaurant lunches, new clothes, and extra alcoholic beverages.
     
  • Come down with carpal tunnel syndrome or its buddy, tendinitis.  Who has time for stretching breaks?
