68 People Reveal Shocking Regrets That Changed Their Lives Forever
This guy came out of his way to talk to me, when I say out of his way, he f*****g flew in from Germany. I didn’t know that at the time, I also didn’t know he was coming to see me. I just got told to go up to this office room and there he was behind this 12 foot mahogany desk.
Had a lovely chat with him and he offered to take me on. Take me on working directly under him, to be trained to take over in the coming years because he wanted to retire before 40 and he had no kids.
What the f**k did I say? “I’m sorry but x line of work has no interest to me, I really want to go down the animal care route”. He respected that.
But years later, living on my own, just getting by juggling my paid work and undergrad I realised what a f*****g mistake that was.
When my ex told me, “I’m not good for you and I’m going to ruin your life”, I should have believed him.
When I was fresh out of school with a useless degree in creative writing and no experience, in the middle of the recession, I interviewed to be a Marketing Coordinator for a local fishing resort/marina that was also headquarters for a few dozen vacation resorts along the west coast. Pay was great, job perks included free travel and food/accomodation at any of these resorts and a fairly freeform job in creating print and web ads, blog material, doing some market research and interviews. It sounded super fun. I aced the interviews and felt like a shoe-in based on how they were talking to me. I prepared for my life of luxury.
They asked me to just throw together a quick ad concept. I was staying at my girlfriend’s house when the request came in and she didn’t have Adobe CS, so I threw something together quickly in Paint, yes Paint, kind of assuming it didn’t really matter since it was just a concept. It was terrible. They went silent, I didn’t get the job, and I faced a difficult few years of racking up credit card debt, digging up freelance work, and mass-applying to jobs that never contacted me back.
I’m doing okay now, but I always wonder what things would be like if that had worked out.
Telling how I felt to my best friend…she didn’t feel the same way and from there it went badly mainly because of how I handled the situation… Lost one of the most important people in my life that day.
A friend of mines owned a small business. His wife wanted a job so he made her the bookkeeper. He went on a business trip and when he came back, gave her a whole bunch of receipts to record as expenses. There was one receipt from the business she could not decifer so she looked it up on the internet… it was a brothel.
