Hey Michael, sorry to interrupt you. Do you have a moment? I'd like to ask you something.

Hey Alex, it's break time, so sure. What's on your mind?

I'm going around asking everyone if they've thought about their New Year's resolutions. Have you made any plans for next year yet? I'm just curious. It's something I do every year.

To be honest, I haven't really thought about it. You know this year went by so quickly with all the projects and reports. But now that you ask, I suppose I should think of something. Maybe a resolution to exercise more and take better care of my health. This year I felt like I was always sitting and staring at numbers.

That's a good one. It's easy to forget to take care of ourselves with all the work we do. By the way, how was this year for you overall, Michael? Did anything stand out?

It was productive but exhausting. We met all our goals, which is great, but I sometimes feel like I spend too much time here at the office and not enough time with my family. If I could change something, it could be to make more time for them. What about you, Alex? How was your year?

It was a learning experience for sure. I've grown a lot, but I think next year I need to focus on personal growth outside of work too.

Hey Charles, it's break time. Huh, got a moment to chat or you're going to eat now?

Hey Alex, sure. I'm not really hungry yet. Tell me what's going on.

I'm going around asking everyone if they've thought about their New Year's resolutions. It's interesting to hear what people are planning for next year. Have you made any?

Oh man, I haven't really thought about it yet. This year has been nonstop with all the system upgrades and the tech issues. But now that you ask, I think I should focus on learning new programming languages or tech skills. It's easy to get comfortable with what I know, but technology is always changing.

That's a great resolution, James. Keeping up with new tech is important. How was this year for you, though? What could you change if you could?

This year was intense to say the least. I felt like I was always on call, always needed for some emergency. If I could change one thing, it could be finding more time to disconnect from work. I think I need to set better boundaries. What about you, Alex? What's one thing you'd change about this year?

I would try to build better connections with everyone. I was so focused on learning the job that I didn't make enough time to socialize. Next year I want to change that.

That's a smart Alex. Building relationships here can make work a lot more enjoyable. Thanks for making me think about this. I guess I'll add more time for myself to my resolutions list.

Hey Richard, um do you have a few minutes?

Hello Alex. Shouldn't you be eating your lunch now? What's going on?

I'm asking everyone about their New Year's resolutions. It's something I'm curious about.
