No, not back to my set point or goal weight, I'm so over that.
It's the business brag, "I've made my numbers…" sentiment, which baffles me.
Really, if uttered by Warren Buffett, this might hold some meaning for me. From most of the regular folk I know, not so much. What's the jumping off point, I wonder? Do you offer congratulations to someone you know is just squeaking by?
Sure, why not.
It's November, when you're told this piece of information. Would "phew, you just made it", be taken as less than complimentary? Alternatively, you are told this in March. Once again, do you think they might have set their sites low? Do they simply coast for the rest of the year? Do you casually mention that the year after this one could be a bummer, take a deep dive, show no signs of improving? Would offering up this depressing insight take the wind out of their sails?
"Make Hay While The Sun Shines" I found out, by the way, is literal. If you chose to roll those bales, (or whatever it is one does with hay) on a rainy day, you get soggy hay. That wasn't a mulitple choice question. I just knew it. Nonetheless, I failed the farmer exam.
Anyhow, I've thought about this and think that the next time someone tells me that they made their numbers my response will be, "Me too, I won the lottery. I'm set for life."
