umm you said: "I don't want to waste my life, waking up @ 30 wondering where the years have gone." OUCH!
I am 32, turning 33 this coming Sunday and I think my best years are ahead of me. I tried hard to in my twenties, but twenty-something distractions got in the way. First wife, three kids, divorce, working hard to gain an inch.
Not I have wised up, refined my work habits, learned from my mistakes (even the ones I repeated twice), found a woman that "gets" entrepreneurship and I am doing better than ever.
When I am 40, I am going to be able to relax, listen to music on my deck while holding my wifes hand and not worrying about my future.
Ask me when I was 23 and I would not had this same response.
- oz 16y agoHappy Birthday when it comes! Was there a specific incident that caused you to wise up? Some sort of epiphany?
- jason_slack 16y agoWell, yes, realizing that when I walked into the door of my job my mood changed. I wasn't happy. I didn't smile. The only conversations going on were technical. If I needed a new mouse I had to get 3 signatures.....They pay for it with my own funds and get reimbursed. We all have "Office Space" or "The Office" type situations at our jobs! Now when I come to work it involves walking upstairs to my DEDICATED office after a nice breakfast, some music and my two cats...
- oz 16y ago"We all have "Office Space" or "The Office" type situations at our jobs!" Damn, it feels good to be gangsta... Seriously though, I'm happy for you. And I want that for myself. I spend the day counting down the hours. Small office with no privacy, so I can't even learn some Python to pass the time.
