Just sat at my desk thinking, how did I end up here? What went wrong along the way, a life so full of promise reduced to the daily 9-5 grey faced nothing that swallows so many hopes and dreams. Before I know it I'll be leaving after 20 years, given a token gift and a pension plundered by politicians. . that's if I don't die shortly after leaving, only for my colleagues to have a whip round to buy a lovely wreath for my corpse and apologise to my family members for their 'loss'. . . .

I can't pin it down to one thing, I made loads of errors. .


Where did it all go wrong for you?

I bet you're great fun at parties.

Good lord! Cheer up before you depress us all!
Instead of looking for the point where it all went wrong, i'd look for a new job if I were you.

You are clearly Desperate Dan !

Life’s a bitch and then you die.

Your post actually made me laugh out loud, especially the bold :hihi::hihi::hihi:

It's that dry, sarcastic sense of humour that I love about Sheffielders...

You could always withdraw all your savings and take off for Tahiti, Brazil or Thailand or some other exotic location and live a life less ordinary than 9 to 5.
But it's no good complaining if you dont have the bottle to do it.

Welcome to my world do you work for the council too (AKA Hell):hihi:

Take the plunge, start your own business, see it grow, then see the recession take it all away leaving you lower than where you started.
Ah well, it was an experience not to be forgotten. :)
