This is post contains my reflections on a challenge entry I posted around this time last year on the things I wanted to achieve in 2023. Before you come up with a list of resolutions in a couple of weeks for 2024, join me as we walk down memory lane; I call it "some_spectre's walk of shame."

1. To Do Well in My Job That Starts in the New Year (I quit after the 2nd day)
I originally thought it was the perfect job for me and my set of skills, but I quickly discovered it wasn't a good fit for me at all. If there is anything I gained from the experience, it is that I need to work quickly towards being self-employed as soon as possible. Here, I can have total control over my work process. "Total control" being a relative term since I would still have to work with clients, but at least I would only have to worry about my bottom line and not an employer's.
