The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Post by mysteryboy »

How has 2007 treated you?

The highs?
The lows?

To sum up my year it's been a massive improvement compared to 2006 which was a dreadfull year.


Roll on 2008!

I was really looking forward to 2007, after a really s**t break up at the end of 2006, and what do you know, same thing happens again this year! Indeed, roll on 2008!

The highs? - The pleasure my wife and kids have given me & new friends we've made.

The lows? - My less than inspiring job, and debts

The highs - Becoming a partner in the family business, first year of actually having money after college in 2006! Having a great girlfriend and having a great time with all my mates again after stupidly abandoning them for a while whilst starting out in a relationship!

The lows - Being unsure about quite a few things i.e considering the future and regrets such as "should i have gone to uni?"

Roll on 2008 for sure! To begin in January, a skiing trip with my mates to Andorra! woo

crap and pointless. may as well have not happened.
started the year in a reasonable temporary job, spent a lot of it in a promising one that turned out to be a punishing dead end that i had to leave, ended it unemployed and lacking motivation.

high point: passing A+ exam and getting on an N+ course. avoiding clinical depression. going through new year with money in the bank.
low point: losing job, randomly stacking car into a ditch (at about 1mph, diagonally, in daylight) and needing building site tools to hoist it out again, later hitting pothole and bending suspension/steering rack in a way garage can't figure out.

nothingness points: everything else
