Happy New Year? My arse!

The first day back at work after the break for Christmas, as if the misery of returning to the 9-5 (or 8-4:30 in my case) wasn't enough, everyone insists on their first words to me being 'Happy New Year'. I mumble back "same to you" before going on with the original question I was about to ask.
I am still trying to figure out why I find this so annoying! Is it because, afterall, today is just another day? Is it because I don't understand the hype of the diets and resolutions, none of which will stick (if you have to wait for a New Year as an excuse then you are lacking in commitment from the off)? Or is it, as I strongly suspect, simply that I am becoming a miserable bastard in my old age?
I'll now count the hours down until I get to go home to see Helen and Oliver, before having to dash out for my first training session of the New Year. Running round a cold church hall in this weather? Yippeeeee!
On the plus side I managed to only put on 4lb over Christmas so my work trousers still fit (it was going to be touch and go!) and Helen actually managed to lose some weight!!!!!
