I was going through my crap the other day and I found a letter to myself that I wrote in 6th grade. Apparently I had aspirations of being a famous director. Now I'm a tech support guy at a mortgage company....

I think that if the 12 yr old me ran into the current me, I would be kicking my own ass for working such a lame job.




What would the 6th grade (12yr old) version of you think about the current you?



I'm tempted to do this again. Write a letter to myself and hide it somewhere so I find it 10 years from now.

I've actually gotten my dream job...as a kid I always wanted to be an accountant. Jumped around a bit after high school, and here I am! Horray!

I'll pay the traveling fee only if you say that you killed me for believing in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That way I'll be a martyr and the next thing you know the Church of the FSM will be ruling the world.

As a kid I always wanted to be a cop. I was in the Army.

Now I do physical security design for DoE facilities. It's not my dream job, but it pays a hell of a lot better.

So... I guess I would be happy with myself.

The fact that I have to work at all would probably be enough to piss my 6th grade self off...it sure does that to the grown up me!

Actually, I love my job. Driving around outside all day. I'll take
rain or snow over an office everytime. Cake schedule, Tues-Fri. Decent
pay, nice beni's. But the 2 best reason's I love my job...

1. Nothing carries over day to day. No meetings, reports, or projects
with due dates. Punch out- it's over. To me that's priceless.

2. Most importantly, there's an all-girl college on my route 8)

At 12? Gah, I'm a completely different person than I was then... I doubt I'd even recognize myself.

Oh, to answer the question - Probably not, but I doubt there are any decisions I'd change if I could do it over.

I thought I would become a Ninja. :lol: [/seriously]

I'd give anything to be that care-free again. Anything.

I was such a happy child too. I'm lucky to have such fond memories, I suppose.

I had a new dream job every week, and I've done most of them, so I'd be pretty happy with myself for having tried so many new things. I'm a successful "jack of all trades".

I think the only job that I wanted to have that I haven't tried yet is sumo wrestler, but there's lots of time left for that.......

Yes, 'The Ninja' is what your ex-wife called me after my many escapes over the back fence when you finally had had enough grog down at the Cruiser. [/reminisces]

What the 23yr old version of yourself would think is irrelevant. It is about what the current you is thinks about yourself that matters [/pike]

As pike seems to be MIA on this one, I thought I'd make up for it.
