Reaching (and exceeding) goals

[afuna_archive]

Before leaving for China, I set myself a minimum goal for Support points and stuck it in Anna's reminder function -- just in case I started lagging behind and needed a target to aim at.

Original chatlog:

[Fri Aug 24 06:14:34 2007] <Afuna> remind me in 3 months dude, you'd better have gotten 1500 points by now :)
[Fri Aug 24 06:14:34 2007] <Anna> Afuna: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Sat Nov 24 14:14:34 2007 GMT
[Fri Aug 24 06:16:00 2007] <Afuna> points afuna
[Fri Aug 24 06:16:02 2007] <Anna> afuna has 1,455 support points.
[Fri Aug 24 06:17:03 2007] <Afuna> remind me in 3 months okay, make that 1800 points!!!
[Fri Aug 24 06:17:03 2007] <Anna> Afuna: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Sat Nov 24 14:17:03 2007 GMT

Today, she messaged me:

08:14:34 <Anna> Afuna: You asked me to remind you dude, you'd better have gotten 1500 points by now :)
08:16:44 <Afuna> points, afuna
08:16:45 <Anna> Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. Try '/msg Anna help' to see what I can do.
08:16:47 <Afuna> points afuna
08:16:48 <Anna> afuna has 3,394 support points.
08:17:03 <Anna> Afuna: You asked me to remind you okay, make that 1800 points!!!
08:18:02 <Afuna> anna, botsnack (thank you <3)
08:18:02 <Anna> Thanks, Afuna! :D

I guess I did reach my goal, at that!

Wow!!! That's awesome, Fu! :D Not only did you meet your goal, but you exceeded TWICE your original goal! :D Congrats!!

[afuna]

Thank you! *grin*

(It's pretty close to my original goal plus my revised goal. The math amuses me so much!)

Actually, considering her original goal was an extra 45 points, she actually got about 42x her original goal. ;)

congrats!
double congrats, actually, since you met your goal twice ;)

I'm amused that your original goal was to get 45 points in 3 months. ;-)

I totally thought that my activity levels would drop once I started studying again :-)

Plus, this was before I really got into the rhythm of points. IIRC, at that time I took so long on certain requests that I probably only answered one request a week, if that... (though my memory may be faulty :-))
