Life goals!
bainidhe_dub:
Oh my gosh I did a run this morning and there were adoptable dogs there including this sweet tiny pit bull.
I suppose my goals are:
-turn my job into a career
-have a happy healthy family
-someday live in a tiny house
-write something and get it published
Papersatan:
Graduate from my master's program
Buy a brand new, never been owned by another person car
Learn to play piano
Get my pilot's licence
Have a C-suite position at a company I care about
Radical AC:
My dad got his pilots license and said it was the biggest waste of money he ever made.
His brother is a commercial airline pilot for easyJet in England.
YMMV

Extra class license compatibility with the high-rise fancy apartment: Where's the antenna? I'm N8HAA here, but I haven't set up the station in the 15 years I've been retired.
And congratulations on the job!

Thanks! I am not quite sure where this job fits in with life goals, but I will do my best to make it work. Antenna goes on balcony.
Papersatan:
I took flying lessons when I was young, like 12, and I loved it. I loooove flying; I think I have blabbered about it here before. My career goals at the time included being a pilot. My flying instructor was a lovely woman, but my ground school instructor was a tool. One day while looking for a map he thought she had misplaced he said "If God had meant for women to fly, the sky would be pink." I was the only female in the class (as well as the only person under 25) and the other men all looked at me nervously and the instructor muttered an apology. But I was embarrassed and hurt. 6 months later my flight instructor moved and I was scheduled to continue my lessons with that man. I quit instead. I never told my parents why, but I was not comfortable taking lessons from him.
Quitting is one of the few regrets I have, and so going back and doing it would be more symbolic than anything else. It is a long term goal though, because who can afford flying lessons :/.

* Holiday (or temporarily live) in New Zealand.
* Write a well-recieved novel.
* Become an editor and/or cinematographer.
That is the bare-bones list.

We apparently share the same life goals! Living the UK means that a temporary pilgrimage to NZ is easier than any other country except Australia.
I'm very close to being an editor - I work in the Production department of an academic publishing house - but need to make a career change IN 2013 at some point, probably.
What art-lover doesn't want to write a novel? :-)
[x] Get better at guitar, play with other people again
[x] Move out of my goddam parent's house before I'm in my mid 20s
[x] Make a sensible career change that pays more than the minimum amount for a recent graduate and actually has a clear career path
[x] Most importantly, move in with my girlfriend so that we can actually have a relationship!
I will probably come up with some mad ones sooner or later.
