I was lost when I went to college so after graduation I ended up going into HR like my dad. It's done me well salary and benefits wise, but I can't stand the field anymore. There's no way I can do this type of work for another 18 years until retirement. So, after 17 years in HR, at the age of 38 I'm quitting my job and going back to school full-time to learn a new field (which believe it or not is accounting/finance). This is a big deal for me because when I finish the program, I'll be close to 40 and looking for a new job in a new field. But, the old field is no longer an option so I have to move on or suffer. Before making this major decision, however, I worked one-on-one with a career coach, did all the vocational testing, and conducted informational interviews in the field. And now I'm really, really excited! Nowadays people may work in several different fields. So, what you choose now might not be what you end up doing for life. My only advice from someone who is making moves to change career fields, is to save money so that you have options if you decide to change. I've been trapped for 9 years because I could not financially afford to make a change. Now I can. Best wishes to you!!!

Wow! Those boobs aren't even because he's fat - he actually has boobs!

Then he'd be the RedEyedMonster!!

Believe it or not, my mom's maiden name is Nau. She loves going to NAU and buying the shirts, coffee mugs, etc.!

Rule Number One: The woman is always right. Rule Number Two: If the woman is wrong, consult rule number one!

A guy goes to pick up his girlfriend for a date. She's not ready yet so he has to talk to the father. He accidentally passes an SBD and the father looks at the dog and yells "Spot"!! The guy thinks "Whew! Got away with that one." When it happens a second time, the guy doesn't mind 'cuz the father once again blames the dog and yells "Spot" at dog very harshly. The third time it happens, the guy smiles internally. But then he hears the father yell "Spot! Get away from that guy before he shits all over you!"

QuoteWas the picking about the young look, or the flowers??.. About the young look. Sorry - should've hit "Quote" instead of reply!

I could have sworn I read another post a few weeks ago where people will giving you hell about the same thing!!

How does a prostitute hold her liquor? By the ears!!

The female's on top facing upwards.

Oh yeah, that looks familiar. Oops! Did I say that outloud!

Yea but that we don'tneed to see on the Christmas video. Sorry - don't want to hijack this thread. I'll stop now!

HA! Even if it weren't physically possible, I'm sure you would find a way!!

Wasn't sodomy recently legalized? There's a thread about this starting on June 26th (I don't know how to do clicks).

What do you get when you have 5 blondes standing next to each other? A wind tunnel!! From yet another blonde!

Or that you can see Jupiter through a telescope but not Uranus!

Yea, definitely file a report with the police. When my car was broken into, my insurance company wouldn't pay to replace the stolen items until I filed a police report. I had to file with the Washington, D.C. metro police. Now that was hell.

Why did Helen Keller have yellow shoes? Her dog was blind too!

Too funny - my fiance heard the same story on the radio this morning, so the radio station must have gotten it wrong too!

What did the blonde say after having sex? Oh, are you all on the same team!

Same here. Skydiving is my relaxation. I deal with assholes all during the week at work - don't want to hang around that on my time off. I skydive for fun. If I see anything negative going on at a DZ, I walk away from it. Only positive vibes please!!

1/2 caf please!!! Signed, another Starbucks junkie!

I too felt that way - for 35 years. I would date a guy for a few months and then couldn't imagine being around them long term so I'd break up with them. I gave up on dating in early 2000 and figured that I was one of those people who was meant to be on my own. Then, lo and behold, a few months later my now fiance came along. I resisted dating him at first, but now 3 1/2 years later we're getting married! He's the first person I haven't picked apart and I still love being around him. I personally consider it a miracle. Hang in there - when you least expect it, expect it!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thanks Ivan!
