    I don’t think most people figure this one out, we all just accidentally fall into the place we were meant to be. Of which…. I think I accidentally fell into hell on earth. I keep approaching my boss about a promotion but he just jabs me in the ass with a friggin pitchfork. ass clown.

    oh. I almost forgot…… vag.

    bwahahahahahahaaaa

    Matt, I realllllly liked your guest post at Free and Flawed. I mean I REALLLLLLLYYYYYYY liked it.

    I don’t know what I want to do and have been floating around for the past four years now. This was always something that worried me because I thought I was supposed to know. I’m glad that it takes some people a while to figure it out. It makes me feel better for not knowing either… it makes feel a-ok. Thanks! =)

    I had no clue what I wanted to do in college either, my main goal was to get out of college in four years. So, I went to college started off in Business Admin, had a lot of fun, drank, played soccer and then after two yrs I transferred switched to Education. I hated my second school so I transferred again switched my major to International Business so I could graduate in four years. After college my first job offer was in banking so I took it. I guess you could say that my career just kind of fell into my lap. I love it though…

    Talk about working your way up from the bottom! Next step? Owning the hospital.

    Dream big Matt!

    ah yes this one hits home – as I’ve been enjoying night classes for almost 10 years now (yes sadly 10 years) since I’ve transferred schools and have been working for the man during the day. Makes it long ass days working all day and then classes in the evening but I’m starting to see the light – and in May will be done and done. The good news is I’ve always somehow managed to maintain good, challenging positions in the tech industry along the way and that they are paying for my remaining classes while I pull in a decent salary.

    I do often ponder though what it would be like just to go to school – life during those days would have been so simple (and easy).

    Good for you. Letting her have the final say. It doesn’t do any good to feel like you have to have more words with her. That just encourages more Final Say letters. There’s more fish. Yes, there are.
