Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
have boring meeting with boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very diligent
but his output stink
his code not functional or elegant
what do Code Monkey think
Code Monkey think maybe manager oughta write goddamn login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy just proud
– Jonathan Coulton, Code Monkey

I stole it from Brad Wilson but cut out all the questions to which my answers were boring… and then had to remove the question numbers!
Hope I wasn’t the person you didn’t want to mention online
