New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year Everyone!
Since it is that time of year to make resolutions (that may or may not be kept…*gulp*) we at The Net Results decided to conduct a little in-office interview to reveal our personal goals for 2011. In addition to talking about our resolutions, we also discussed our favorite websites to visit when we’re not working.
Yet perhaps most importantly, we all took a stab at this age-old question: is niche pronounced “nitch” or “neesh”? Our answers to these questions may surprise you….
James
Q: What is your New Year’s Resolution?
A: My New Year’s Resolution is to drink more, gain a few pounds, and stop working out so much. (They never come true anyway so might as well use reverse logic!)

Ashley
Q: What is your New Year’s Resolution?
A: My first two resolutions are ones I do every year – to read one new book a month and to experience one new thing every month (doesn’t have to be crazy, it just has to be new to me). I also want to run 5Ks in the spring. I LOATHE running so that is going to be a real challenge/reward.
Q: What are your favorite non-work related websites you go to FOR FUN?
A: My guilty pleasures are Gilt (it’s awesome but you have to register to see the goodies – don’t worry it’s free) and Etsy, but I also love icanhascheezburger and Hyperbole and a Half. Feline hilarity and neurotic brilliance entertains me for hours!
Q: How do you pronounce “Niche” – is it “Nitch” or “Neesh”?
A: I understand in theory that it’s “nitch” but I tend not to accept this in practice. I usually say “Neesh”.
Kevin

Q: What are your favorite non-work related websites you go to FOR FUN?
A: Since I am the original “Groover McTuber” (Furry Freak Brothers ) I love IMDB to checkout info on movies! I also like any website that has to do with health such as Earth Clinic. YouTube for videos pertaining to music since MTV is no longer Music – I’m forever a child of the 60′s (rock on!)
Q: How do you pronounce “Niche” – is it “Nitch” or “Neesh”?

Elisa
Q: What is your New Year’s Resolution?

Q: What are your favorite non-work related websites you go to FOR FUN?
A: How could I not include I Has a Hotdog? Also love http://blog.flickr.net/en
Q: How do you pronounce “Niche” – is it “Nitch” or “Neesh”?
A: For 23 years of my life, I thought the only way to pronounce “Niche” was “Nitch” – that is, until my interview with James. In his first sentence he used the phrase – “Micro Neesh Finder.” I was instantly sucked into a spiral of self-doubt. Nitch? Neesh? Have I been saying it wrong ALL ALONG?! Is he passing judgment right now? Why has no one corrected me for 23 years?! I immediately thought to question my entire vocabulary. Maybe I can learn sign language?
Needless to say, I was welcomed to join the company (hurray!) and found out about a week later that there really isn’t a right or wrong way. Phew.
Rita
Q: What is your New Year’s Resolution?
A: I love New Year’s Resolutions! (Did I tell you I’m the eternal optimist?) I’m not worried about pesky details like whether I’m going to keep them or not – it’s just fun thinking I might! This year, I’m keeping my goals pretty broad: I resolve to learn one new skill, make one new friend, and get rid of one bad habit.
Q: What are your favorite non-work related websites you go to FOR FUN?
A: The website’s I go to for fun are Amazon.com (to order more books and music CDs – don’t tell my husband!) and IMDB (to look up movie and TV show details I can’t remember anymore)
Q: How do you pronounce “Niche” – is it “Nitch” or “Neesh”?
A: I usually say “neesh” now, but I’m not a purist about it and could argue it either way. Hey, I’m still trying to figure out how to pronounce the name of the little town I live in – it’s spelled Van Wyck, and it’s pronounced three different ways, depending on who you’re talking to – Van Wack (the old-schoolers), Van Wike (the hoity-toity) and Van Wick (the outsiders)!
