  Maybe I've sat on my haunches to long. I've worked at Wal-mart for over nine years. I've watched people work there for all their lives and do not much else. Of course, that can happen in any job not just Wal-mart.
  The truth is that we are creatures of habit. We follow the path of least resistance. I could have worked at Wal-mart for the rest of my life. That's why I quit. I was told by some to ask for a "leave of absence." Then if I didn't like Dell, I could come back. I decided that I should quit. I'm not going back. No one ever got anywhere by laying down.
  I'm going to make it. Dell is hard. I'll become harder. I'll fight back. Dell will not kick my ass.
  There's a high turnover at Dell. I've been there for four weeks. There were 32 in my starting class. At least a quarter of us are gone or on the way out. It's just obvious. I will not become one of those people.
  My brother has a habit of reading a book a month. I think that's a great idea. That's going to be my new years resolution. 12 books. I may start eating beef again. I don't know. I'm getting used to it. I've only eaten it 11 times this year. I think that I may take up a resolution next year of not drinking carbonated drinks as well.
  But my number one resolution is to not let Dell kick my ass.
