Ode to 2009

It’s funny. I was going to write a longer post today, maybe the last truly good day for blog reading, just before the holiday frenzy begins in earnest next week.

I was planning to talk about how 2009 was a forgettable year for most people, both personally and professionally, and that I wouldn’t be lying if I told you that I know of several people who are holding New Year’s Eve parties emphatically urging 2009, to, um, leave as quickly as possible.

In between me collecting my thoughts on how 2009 brought us challenges on unprecedented levels and how nearly everyone we know has had to scratch and claw just to keep business as usual anywhere near usual, I came across something that said it all for me. So instead of getting all wordy and spiteful about 2009, I’ll let this picture, crafted by the one and only Greg Storey of Airbag Industries, say it all.

Yes, exactly. Nuke 2009. Hello 2010. Would you like a coffee?

(Incidentally, if you want other versions of Storey’s graphic, here they are: wide, full, and phone.)

Where do you stand? Is 2009 something you’re just waiting to delete from your memory as soon as possible, or was it good for you? Tell your story in the comments.
