EHS 94

My ten-year high school reunion is coming up this summer. Aside from the quick dose of insta-old it provided ("damn, I graduated 10 years ago?") it's been interesting reading the updates people have been putting on the mailing list.

There are a couple doctors, at least one guy is self-employed (and not in my euphemtistic, "actually unemployed" way, he's making it work). There are a lot of people who are married and/or have kids, some more than one. That last bit is the one that gets me the most -- ignoring the fact that I'm single, there's no way in hell I could raise a kid. Me as a parent would be the stuff of sitcoms. Or CPS visits.

It's amazing, really. Back in '94 I was the guy voted Most Likely to Succeed by my classmates (all those "awards" go to one boy and one girl). And out of the people who've sent out mailings I have the least to show for the last 10 years in any regard. In a way it's frustrating. I know I've blown chances over the years, but now I have concrete proof of just how far I set myself back.

Time to find some motivation then...

Of course, it's not like I'm looking forward to my 10th year reunion, given that I'm going to have just graduated with a Bachelors at that point.

Yeah, but that's like work :) I'm at least trying to lose some weight so I don't look like the sedentary land-shark that I am, but that's really it. What I really ought to do is check in with the recruiter who got me this contract job and have him start (a) leaning on my boss to hire me, or (b) find me something that pays better. After all, I'm not likely to find myself a woman in the next five months, but I can at least try to make some money.
