What do you see yourself doing ten years down the road?

[birddog7]

What a positive outlook on life.

Sorry, but that's what it's been like for me so far...

I disagree. Somethings get better, somethings get worse. Thats part of this journey anyway. I plan on being retired in 10 years but not looking forward to it because I love my career. If I last that long I will have been at my job for 45 yrs., oh my.

Might be different for others, but I can't think of anything that has gotten better for me with age...

What a depressing thread, I plan to be alive and I will want to be alive in ten years, hopeful king be done with schooling, and have a job in DC, or working on a campaign for a politician that isn't horrible.

 

[M4P]

I'll be 57 ten years from now. Hopefully getting ready to retire in a year or two

 

[JayHawk]

Who knows but I am pretty sure whatever I am doing I will be good at it....

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I'd been Jubbing for ten years, on and off, so I went for a stroll down memory lane and came across this thread. Only two or three of the original respondents have logged in during the last year.

When I joined JUB I didn't own a computer, all I had was my new Nokia C1-01 phone with a WAP connection, whatever that is (the screen is two square inches and it doesn't display videos or gifs). I was thinking about letting my flat and moving in with my mother as her carer, and I was dreading turning fifty. My mother died in 2014 and the next two years (at least) I spent sitting in an armchair looking at the opposite wall. The cat died in 2017.

I'm not dead yet. Not enough to bury, anyway. In 2018 I went a bit funny and spent three months in the loony bin, and when I came out I finally got round to clearing out my mother's stuff. The whole house was a shithole. I gave up after a few months, so now only half the house is a shithole. Having an income from the flat and owning a house outright has made me lazy. Now I'm staring sixty in the face and I don't think I could get a job in book production these days if I tried, the technology changes so fast and the sort of jobs I did don't exist any more.

Well that certainly wasn't what I thought the last ten years would be like. So ... how have you all progressed since 2012? Or, like me, regressed? How do you see your life in 2032?


P.S. I'd love to know what refujiunderground is doing these days.

I hope refujiunderground got some help for his depression. He was going down a road of terrible self destruction.

 

[PalacePaul]

This is depressing, indeed.
In the last 10 years I went through music school, which was a rather bad experience.
I moved on my own, at least that was good.
My sister got severely ill and my dad got depressed.
I'm still single and still not good at making friends.

Honestly I'm scared to think what it'll be like in 10 years

The only thing I can say is this

[pornoboy]

this time ten years down the road ?

​

... that a metaphor?​

 

[pornoboy]

What ?

 

[ShadowCat]

If I could answer this question, maybe my life would be on track!

 

[belamyi]

^ Of self-deception, you mean.

 

[pornoboy]

Ten years down the road ? Plenty of time...

[belamyi]

And derail while having a cola.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Same thing I'm doing now, pissing off the status quo, screaming BLACK LIVES MATTER til my face turns blue, making head sheriff Garry Mcfadden blush when he sees me coming during a press conference, and maybe chasing a lil Junior around the house. No, not chasing. I'm gonna be a wine mom that lets him do his thing. Unless something's on fire don't bother me you ignorant little shit.

 

[ShadowCat]

I hate questions like this in 8th grade I had hoped to be a chef, by 24 I wanted to be in my own condo, slimmer, hopefully out with a longtime boyfriend dare I say even married? But NONE of that was ever in the cards for me, who knows if it ever will be?
