| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I would like to say that as much as we may not have done what we expected to do, none of us is really that bad off. We all have a place to live, a computer, and an internet connection. And, most of us have jobs. That's a lot more than some people can say. I appreciate where I am in life, it just isn't what I pictured when I was younger. But hey, I guess that's a part of growing up, realizing that things are seldom what they seem, and you can't count on anything until it is done.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Where I am today, I kinda figured I'd be, but with a different set of circumstances around me... Im 29 (30 next feb.), and I always pretty much figured I'd be married by 30, have a job, live life, etc. As it turns out, I'm slated to be married in July, I have a B.S. in accounting, have a full time job, make an ok salary, but the thing I didn't count on was my dad passing away when I was 19 - always kinda figured he'd be there, get old, get cranky and stuff - I often think what life would be like for me if he were still here, how I would have handled things, what choices I would have made....it can make you go crazy! And recently, I've started thinking that my chosen profession may not totally be what I want to do, thinking of changing it slightly or perhaps totally....but I think if I had to put my life in terms of a "schedule", I'd have to say I'm more or less right on schedule - got to where i thought I'd be, just took a different route than I had planned.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Inflate my ego, why don't ya... I'm only good at what I do because I've been doing it for so long. I've been playing games on the computer and tinkering with really basic DOS since I was 6 or 7. Had a computer programming course in 6th grade (Apple BASIC). At 13, I was pretty decent with DOS and started tinkering with hardware - my dad brought a computer home and my task was to take it down to nothing.. format it and remove all hardware, then build it up to a working computer, asking for his help when I needed it. In soph. junior, and senior year of HS, I had an Electronics teacher... the main point of the course was to learn about electrical stuff but once he learned that I tinkered with computers at home, he decided to give me a shot... he had 3 computers in the corner of the room - he basically told me what was wrong with it and said "see what you can do". After enough putzing around in Windows (3.1, mind you) I'd troubleshoot till it worked. Then came college, and you know the rest. It takes a certain way of thinking to be able to troubleshoot anything, especially computers.... not to sound corny, but you have to be logical, hence one reason why I chose my screen name. I just think that way. I was also really good at Math and sucked at English... same reason - logical thinker.  Me droogies: Two positions currently available. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | I don't think I'm where I expected to be now, and I haven't made the most prudent decisions to get myself here, but you know what, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 01 | I'm turning 35 this year. I figured I'd be married with kids by now, but it didn't turn out that way. Took me 13 years to find Mr. Right, but I finally found him - we are eloping as soon as we have enough money to go somewhere. I have a job, not a career, but I love what I do. I do have regrets though. I regret not going to college. I regret some of the bad decisions that I've made that have affected my life up until now. I regret letting my passionate pursuits fall by the wayside while I took care of everyone else in my life. Am I happy? YES Am I disappointed? Yes, but only with myself for not living up to my full potential. Would I be comfortable going to my 20th high school reunion? Probably. Looking back, I didn't really have ANY expectations. I had no idea what would happen. I probably should have had more goals to work towards, but I tended to live in the moment back then. But when I compare my failures to my successes, I think I'm ahead of the game. My mother died 12 years ago, but I think she would be proud of the woman I've become. Thanks for listening......... | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | i am only 16 years old, and i do have expectations of my life in the future, very little of them being good but if i go back as to junior hight, i would say i sort of turned to be the kinda person i thought i'd be a person with friends, but not popular, sarcastic, an asshole, pessimist, and self isolated as to make sure no one would be able to see past my surface of asshole-istic beliefs so far i must say my life is pretty miserable, and pretty good also, i dont see myself as a person that will ever get married, or a person of any significance in society. just another dickhead.  i just cant help myself, im feeling like im going out of my head uncanny strange deja vu, but i dont mind, i have to find the truth. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | At 8 I was going to be a priest and a chemist, at 16 I was going to be a lawyer like my dad and a writer, with coaching a swim team on the side, at 21 I wanted to be a writer for a newspaper or ad company and a part time swimcoach and ocean lifeguard ala Baywatch, at 31 I am an ocean Lifeguard ala Baywatch(although not as good looking) and a PROFESSIONAL SWIM COACH and writer. Sometimes our dreams change and our goals switch so long as you love what you do and you do what you love.. everything falls in place. About the marriage thing... did I mention I work with semi-nude teen girls every day?  "Don't you know?

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: So how are u getting away with this and being married? Lets see my life right now is it what I expected: For the most part yes. I'm 25 years old and I have a great career. I didn't go to a 4 year college for it. I did work very hard to get where I am at right now. I do regret not going AWAY to college and having the experience of all that. I guess that was my stupidity of not leaving my hs sweetheart because he didn't want me to and I listened. Recently, I've had an experience with a herniated disk in my back so for now I'm not working and I'm recovering from back surgery. I'm collecting disability and I'm sure I wont be going back to work for a couple of weeks. My problem is, that I don't see myself doing what I do as a career for the next 40 years of my life. I definately can see myself in 10 yrs going back to college...getting that degree that I always wanted to do and not limit myself to do anything that I want to in that point and time. As far as marriage and kids...well I guess that will come in due time..I've seen alot of divorces and stuff like that so I don't want to make a mistake in that department. Life is what you make of it since you're the one in control. =) Care to stick your hot dog in between my buns? | ||||
