responsibility takes it up the ass...

It seems like I'm at an age where I'm supposed to be more responsible than I want to be. From recent conversations with many of my friends, this seems like a common theme. For some, it's the new feeling of owning a home or a small child or both. For others, it's the hunt for a career, or, failing that, a satisfying job.

Does anyone really have a truly satisfying job? I'm trying to think of anyone I know who actually doesn't complain about their job. My brother comes close, but he lives in LA, so his judgement is obviously questionable.

I constantly waffle between career choices. At times I want to work for the programs I work for know. I am working my way up the ladder in a way, although I have gone as far as I can without at least one more degree. Other times I think that I would like to work in business, but then I think about the horror of having a cubicle and get claustrophobic.

As far as having children go, I really can't see that happening. I've come a long way in the last few years, but it's still best for all if my shoes don't have laces, and I leave the house with my fly down as often as not. My foresight is so weak that I'm constantly amazed when eating my lunch at 10:30 leads to hunger at 2:30, and starvation by 5:30. This is the person that's going to have a kid? Not likely. Talk to me in 20 years, maybe then I'll have the maturity needed.

On second thought, better make that 30.

OK E, that's one person. From now on, people that live in WV don't count, as their judgement is obviously suspect.
