Its no fun being home sick with a cold. I’ve laid low today, just working at my desk or resting. As it is, I’ll likely be home from work tomorrow, seeing what I can get done from home, so I can lick this d*** thing.
Well, since I’m home, I might as well pass on an interesting meme snarfed from cellio (link):
Take your life as it is now.
Imagine yourself, oh, some 15-18 years ago, if you’re old enough to remember that far back.
What would the you of that time think if you could go back and talk about what you’re doing now? Would your younger self believe you? Be happy? Or want to avert this future?
Are you where you thought you were going to be?
Actually, going back 15 years, I’m pretty much where I am now, only younger. I’d be living in the same house, married to the same sweetie, working in the same job. My younger self might be surprised at the status I’ve achieved in my field (I am today). I might be surprised at all the internet presence I have, since at that point I had no designs on doing my highway page or the FAQ, and the incident that led to my starting my mailing list would have just happened. I think the biggest surprise would be that I’d be a dad of a little girl.
So, all in all, where I’ve come in 15 years is pretty good. I might have done better, but I’m pretty happy with my lot.
