Sometimes you just have to burn the card fate dealt you.

So I'm sitting here in my office trying to resist the temptation to throttle myself with the phone lead, and wondering where it all went wrong, and pondering the fact that if I'd asked myself as a kid what I'd be doing at my age I'd have been guessing for a long time before I reached 'office drone'.

A fact which hugely depresses me. <_<

So how about you guys? Are you doing what you thought you'd be doing as a kid? Or has life turned out entirely differently?

I wanted to be a veterinarian or a teacher. Oh, and a writer.

But then I never wanted to be married. Life's just full of surprises! :D

I wanted to be a chemist and be in a laboratory. Being...well studying to be a pharmacist isn't far away from that, so I guess/hope I'll be happy. ;)

Before the pressure of having to think of a realistic job got to me, I wanted to be a superhero, perhaps like the Vision, partly coz he was cool and partly because he had a fit missus. Later on I wanted to be just like Barry Sheene. Only without the broken bones and reconstructed legs.

I wanted to be a graphic designer from my early teens. I can't tell you how awful it is to have that particular dream come true and turn out to be completely rubbish.

It's quite crushing in fact. ;)

I wanted to be a traffic warden. No really! I was a strange child...
