re: What's been your biggest dissappointment in life?

college diploma doesn't get you shite. it's severely watered down and equivalent to HS diploma these days.

1/9 and it's not even close.

That's a pretty sad way at looking at things, man.

idk i just feel like i'm being honest with myself. in a way it really drives me to work harder at the things i care about because i feel like there's so much room for improvement. i still get my jollies from the things i do achieve, but i always feel like i can be improving. obviously we are all limited by our talent, so i know i have my own limits. ultimately i judge my own performance against what i feel is my true maximum level of achievement.

for example, a couple of years ago i trained for 3-4 months to run a mile. i got down to 5:56 at the end, which is incredibly fast for me. i still feel like, with better, harder & smarter training i could get down to the 5:20's, so i have room to improve the next time i make an attempt at it, but i'm not down on myself for not running a 4:30 mile, because i really don't think my body is capable of that. still reasonably happy with the 5:56, but i know i can do better.

Second would be high school...all of it

I wouldn't say I am dissappointed with anything.

I did figure I would be married and have kids by now.

That can be interpretted two ways though.

Some would say I dodged a bullet.

Everyone was a miserable sob after that game that posts on this website. Let's not lie to yourselves.

The working world. All the rage is about going to school so you can get a job sitting in an office all day with 2 or 3 weeks of vacation a year. And for what? So you can live it up when youre 60?

Is a football game that important or your life just lack a big disappointment?

Yes

More to the former than the latter, though

I was at that game in the dome and had to stay through the trophy ceremony. I had to miss a bunch of family and friends' events to go to it. I have a few a-hole bama fan friends, it was brutal.

It disappoints me that all these
M-F jobs are the same. They all make you work 40 hours a week. Doesn't matter what industry you are in. Any way you slice it- 4 10's 9 80 schedule, half day Fridays you still work 40 hours a week. Why don't some companies say "hey, we feel our employees should work 32 hours a week. We'll pay them a little less, but that's just our philosophy" Nope. They're all cookie cutter.

The lack of hourly babe threads on this site and 1.9.12
