| where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
Posted: 1/19/2007 5:42:40 AM | A question that's always asked of me on a job interview. Damn I hate that question. I can't look outside of the box since I don't even know what I'll be doing next week. I live one day at a time and take all as they come. K serra serra......whatever will be will be. The future's not ours to see.....always comes to mind.
Cheers! | |

I know my dreams for 5 years down the road ... who knows if I will be anywhere near that though. I like to dream though ... and my dreams are pretty simplistic ...
I hope I am well and my son is safe and well in 5 years .... I hope I get over my hate of my birthday enough to have a kickass party for my 30th ..... | |

I belive 5 years from now, i wont be on this site (POf) and sipping a bottle of red wine with me special someone and we own 5 properties. You better belive me lol.. | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 9:17:21 PM | I always have difficulty answering this one during job interviews-- but, because of what's at stake, I always come up with an answer.
For some reason, I want to tackle it now; but instead of where will I be, I'd like to think about what I would have wanted to work on in the next 5 years. I'll throw it out to the universe (the POF universe, that is) because they say if you put it in writing, share it with a friend, or entrust it to the universe, you'll be more prone to follow through. So I'm just covering all my bases!!
Lemme see, I'd like to have moved closer to work.
I have a varied circle of friends, but they are quite different from each other, so, I would have liked to find enough like-minded people to form a small community of sorts (6-8 people) wherein folks have enough trust to get together and just "be" on a weekly basis-- sharing deep thoughts . It sounds weird, I'm just having a hard time articulating it... sharing tales of the week that's gone by; sharing spirituality; whatever. Some of the best summer jobs I had were brainless ones were your hands kept moving but you just gabbed about anything and everything as you did your work.
I would have liked to connect with that special significant other.
I would like to still have my parents around- they're in their mid-80s.
There ya go. | |

I am not now where I pictured myself 5 years ago. I recognize there is a future, but one has no true idea of where one may be at a point so far away. It just amounts to wishful thinking. Your entire life can change in the twinkling of an eye. Mine did. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Alive somewhere doing something.
I couldn't agree more....
I used to think that at 30, I'll be married, starting a family, live in my own house, etc....We'll I'm turning 32 next week, I am a single dad, never got married, am renting an apartment instead of owning a house, etc... I never could have foreseen what could actually happen in that time span, life can change in an instant. With that said, where do I see myself in 5 yrs? Who knows, but now I know better. I live for today, no sense in worrying about tomorrow. | |

Family Responsiblity Office
Evil government perpetrators of a body of Family Law that is little more than legalized Misandry. The FRO enforces Child Support Orders. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, as it is something that is greatly needed in some cases. Unfortuantely, said body of Family Law is so poorly written and imbalanced, it makes it possible for vindictive ex-spouses to mis-use it, and does not take into account any form of real "equalization" given both former spouses incomes.
That being said, I will tell you that my main beef with them is the basic assumption in said flawed body of law is the automatic assumption that a non-paying male spouse is ALWAYS avoiding his responsibilities to his children, rather than unable to to meet said responsibilities.
I went through a period of unemployment a few years back, was unable to pay what I should, and had my Driver's Licence SUSPENDED to punish me for losing my job and having no money. My ex could have been generous, and waited for me to get a new job (I have no HUGE gaps in my employment history, so she had no reason to believe I wouldn't get a new job), but she chose to report me to the FRO to get money from me she imagined I must have hidden away somewhere apparently.
The next time I had a gap between contracts.... I got to keep $150 a week from my EI benefits, and she got the other $150, to be certain my poor children don't suffer on her $62 grand a year, plus whatever her new spouse makes.
Does that answer your question??  | |

Posted: 1/24/2007 11:35:45 AM | Well five years from now i hope i have found a better ditch to live in and one thats a little closer to the creek that i bathe in .
In all honesty i can't look down the road 5 years as i have learned through life ,live for today because yesterday is gone and tommorrow never comes so why plan ahead for something that you have no idea you will be around for .
I wil live my life now and not worry about whats down the road because i really haVE no control on destiny ,the big dirt nap is the only thing we all know for sure is coming in the future .I do not fear the reaper as i know i have many friends that i will see on the other side and who knows maybe it will be a better place ,i know i sure don't . | |
