I was browsing through the Friends Reunited comments on my old schoolmates (well, the subscription expires at the end of January), and came across this comment from an ex-former-schoolmate:
“I am overjoyed so many of us have ended up fulfilling life dreams … Anna is an Actor(ress) Sasha’s a vet, Andrew’s in Computing …”
How depressing that my schoolmates think that my entire life dream was to do something in the highly glamorous occupation known as computing. No, I never dreamed of writing, producing, doing something vaguely artistic. No, I just wanted to be a geek and sit in front of a PC all day being geeky and manipulating bits of code.
Well, I do enjoy that but that’s not all I want to do. And it’s certainly not a life dream. So Mr. Keogh, shame on you! shame on you! shame on you!

Andrew, the only reason she said you’re in “computing” is that she isn’t sophisticated enough to understand what you really do. Anyway, isn’t she an actress…? I find being a “pizza navigational technician” more respectable than that…

Never mind Andrew, my ambition *has* been to be something in computing
, and I’m getting there, still. Not quite as glamorous as movie director however, not even if you’re Bill Gates or Linus Torvalds 
.
