the optimism of youth, the disapointment of adulthood

computer support, thought it was easy, until having ot confront joe public, jesus, there should be laws about letting some people near computers

on another note, my mate builds amps etc as easy as making a cake, he knows his stuff about audio etc, well he was a aircraft engineer (laid off by virgin) now works for southern rail.

being selfemployed was a small let down...not a crushing one tho.....my present "job" as a cycling prof teacher enables me to mess about with kids and bikes all day long whilst doing my timesheets on a friday in starbucks at my own leisure.i have the freedom to choose the times and where i go....the only job i have ever really liked doing too.....its great during summer too..

Hmmm, My biggest disappointment i would say was myself. I made a few wrong decisions along the way and i'm now stuck in a mediocre life when i know damn well i could of done better. But nowadays when i look back i dont regret it as even though i f**ked up i still had a lot of fun along the way.

Another thing i have noticed about my life is whenever it has gone tits up ive returned to riding to sort my head out and plan ahead. Currently going through phase 3 of bike recuperation, dont know what it is about it but it just sorts my head out when i'm on the trails.

i second that.........after ten years of marriage i was informed by my mate that my wife was having an affair,that was five years ago and during the ensuing snotty divorce and loss of home and family my bikes kept me sane....all my planning was done on two wheels......i love my hobby for that.....

This is a sad thread, lots of unhappiness... Ive got a pants job too, but sometimes, just sometimes, it can be total champagne... For the rest of the time, theres cars and bikes to be enjoyed!!!

I agree wholehearted with this statement

Hmmm, became profoundly deaf at 10 years of age (I'm deaf with speech and lip-read) and that pretty much fucked me up... got a good education though (went back into mainstream schools), didn't help me with employment a jot however. Moved to Newcastle, started working at the CPS. Got into a controlling relationship, moved to London, ended said relationship. Got moved around in the CPS and now up for a promotion. In a new relationship that is going amazingly well.

I had an artifical cochlear implant fitted in 2004, I've loved music all my life, even through the 'silence' years. I am trying so damned hard to get a job in the broadcast music industry to help push music for the deaf and hard of hearing even further. Thing is, I seem to be too far ahead of our time, no one takes me seriously and it becomes incredibly frustrating. but I'm still trying!!
