We had a conversation today, on the subject of "Where do you see yourself in ten yearsapos; time?"
I�hate this question and I groan inwardly every time it comes up. I think the reason Iapos;ve always hated it is because I�associate it with Careerapos;s Advice and UCAS forms and A�Level options and things like that, when I didnapos;t have a clue what I wanted to do and didnapos;t want to think about it. But today I was with a group of teenagers who initiated the discussion and had some interesting answers.
So�I thought about the question seriously for the first time ever.
The year will be 2018 and Iapos;ll be thirty-three.
1) The number one thing I want, within the next ten years is my own house. Not necessarily a huge one, but not a flat. I have my eye on the exact location of this house too, halfway between my current home and my current job.�I have no desire for anyone to share this house with; boyfriends/husbands/kids donapos;t feature in my ten year plan. If it happens, it happens but Iapos;m not planning it. At the time of the conversation, this was the only answer I�had.
But I�thought about it a bit more afterwards
2) I�wear a little glass globe around my neck to remind me that there is a world out there, yet if I�go on like I am at the moment, Iapos;ll spend my entire life going from work, home, bath, sleep with a weekly trip out to Rangers. So I�want to travel a bit. I donapos;t feel any need to rush off to Thailand or India or anwhere like that. I want to go to Ireland in the spring, do my own little road trip, although�Iapos;d like someone to come with me. I was thinking about a few days in Spain in November but since the Valencia Moto GP is in less than a fortnight, I�might rethink that - a few days maybe in Norway might be nice. Actually, that does sound good. Phantymapos;s off to Norway then.
3) I�want to write. I�donapos;t necessarily want to be a professional writer, and neither do I�think Iapos;m good enough, but to have my own little set of self-published books would make me very happy. Why am I�waiting until November to write a book? Why canapos;t I write one right now?
4) I�want to climb, and I have no excuse for not climbing. Thereapos;s a climbing club not ten minutes away, if Iapos;m just brave enough to join it. I�want to join an archery club; ditto.
5) I�want to enjoy my work more. I do enjoy being in the office, with all these interesting people, but unfortunately, at the moment, thereapos;s next to nothing for me to do. I�go to work, I spend all day being bored. I�donapos;t think itapos;s a good idea to be looking for another job so soon, and I guess being bored is better than hating it, and I would miss the people immensely, but itapos;s not stimulating. In ten years, I would like to be either working somewhere else or considerably promoted. However, at just over six months into my first ever job, things are ok.
6) In ten yearsapos; time, I would like to be the owner of a sports car of some kind. At the moment, Iapos;m thinking BMW�Z4 or Lotus Elise. Thatapos;s just a matter of saving enough money (and having somewhere to keep it. My parentsapos; drive is overfull as it is at the moment)
7) I�want to be as happy in my own skin as I am now. I�know exactly who�I�am and what Iapos;m like; I donapos;t want any identity crises
8)�Iapos;d quite like to be less shy. I know Iapos;m not as bad as I used to be - I�can see myself at thirteen, with a massively thick, and permanently kinked, fringe, owl-style glasses and massive front teeth, too scared to say boo to a goose. I�also recall that I was absolutely petrified of admitting, even to my best friends, that I fancied so-and-so in our class, despite the fact that absolutely everyone did. These days, when Iapos;m liable to fall in love with middle-aged TV presenters, bosses and TV producers, Iapos;m open about such things�to the point that�people would probably prefer me to shut up.
I�think thatapos;s enough to be getting on with for now.
