    i turn 30 in near on 5 months..

    instead of feeling like im moving into great new, exciting territory, it feels like im having a miniture life crisis.

    no wife, no kids, no home, no posh sports car, just a very temporary lifestyle moving from one robotic office to another making cash..

    Who said IT bods were sad, nerdy, antisocial geeks without a life?

    If you can't get a woman then try buying yourself a motorbike, a guitar and then find some smarmy graduate 'Leadership Programme' type, who everyone despises, and punch him out in the middle of the office. You'll feel a million times better about yourself.

      You are in the game for one thing: time.

      Time is precious. It's best to make some money quick which you can use later to free your time (your necessity to work). buying expensive toys just sucks that time away from you and you'll die working.

        It's what you are, not what you have that matters.

          Knob Jockey turns 18 in a few months and has nothing more to show for it than a very shiny joystick, some sticky well thumbed magazines, and a bedroom with a big padlock on the outside.

              Slicing through grissle is never easy fungarse. Usually I just spit the fat out.

                Don't do it for ever, there is more to life. But don't sweat it yet, life's not over. Plenty more to come, including more crises.

                TheMonkey is right, time is precious, in fact it's all you have, and it's limited. But worrying doesn't give you any more of it. Don't panic. Just don't spend time doing things you'd look back at and regret wasting time on.

                  Sometimes it pays to take time to think. To think about what really matters to you. It's actually quite hard when faced with the barrage of 'enforced needs', reinforced by society and others around you. It's amazing how robotic we all become.

                    What are you talking about? You already had a one year off for skiing.

                    No, get a job, punk! And less sprite!

                    Btw, great avatar, couldn't imagine anything better for you myself.
