New Year, New Me ….. #OfficeBanter

New Year, New Me Resolutions.

The festive period gone, most of us sit there a bit fatter and a bit more open-minded to our flaws or lack of talent in one area. The pens or phones come out and we sketch a couple of famous ‘new year, new me’ resolutions. And whilst there are the usual, ‘lose weight’, ‘read more’, there are a few that made me laugh and of course from my colleagues – due to being the wonderful colourful lot we are.

In true R2R London company culture style, we like to have a good old laugh at each other, what perfect way to perk up the office banter than to ask our favourite, well-loved recruitment to recruitment experts their best, worst and most successful resolutions they have made.

So here is exactly what they said.

Molly:

‘Last year my goal was to learn to ski and I smashed that, currently the proud owner of passing the nursery slopes and an elegant bum shuffle down a black slope at Saint Anton, Austria. I also wanted to do the splits (shows me) but that’s not quite working out’.

‘This year, to visit two new countries, any recommendations?’

Brooke:

‘In 2016 I promised myself to lose weight and I lost 8 stone (wow she’s boss).’

‘2020 I aim to lose the 2 stone I put on joining R2R London (we like our luncheons) and pass my driving’ …. She also added an engagement ring, Curtis (cough cough)!

Shannagh: 

‘In 2019 I said I would be veggie at home and eat meat out only, I lasted a week and ate out most nights to avoid failing’.

Georgia:

‘in 2019 I changed my hair colour 9 times, record year’

‘My dream is to drive a JCB or a crane’ …. Not sure this is allowed but if it is can we make the girls dreams come true?

Steven:

 ‘Stop John’s s***e jokes’

‘Fancy jumping out of a plane this year’.

Kate:

‘At the start of 2019 I said I would learn Spanish’

‘hola puedo tomar un vino’ and ‘?Donde esta mi hotel?’

'This year I aim to expand on this' .... can't be that hard to improve the 1 word a month target.

John:

‘I don’t make them because I am perfect’. He doesn’t like defeat. 

‘2020 will see me cut out the take- away’ s and dry January’, (after this weekend and Liverpool winning the derby he failed happily).

Tereza:

‘After having my little girl I joined weight watchers for 6 months and lost a record 3lb, I probably was the worst one there’ …. LOL!

‘In 2020 I want to make sure I am more organised at least 3 days in advance. I think I work well under pressure though. Also, I have a habit of doing weird things like taking home stuff from the office or putting keys in the bin so If I could stop that thanks, baby brain?’.

Matt:

‘In 2020 I promise to stop chanting Liverpool songs all the time’.

Josh:

‘In 2020 I want to get back into boxing’

Michael:

‘This year I aim to be a Jameson’s Whiskey Instagram influencer’ ….. #ad

 The others are best left off.

What about you?
