So, when things get a bit rough and there’s snow, rain, hail and a bike ride through it all a bit of a stock take is in order. This one I call: You know you are a success when:
- you have your own business
- you have a teaching diploma and have actually taught in a classroom
- you listen to punk music and still think it’s awesome
- you own your own home
- you have actively and consciously destroyed and rebuilt parts of that home
- people talk to you when they need something AND just because
- you cross between different industries and the idea of specialisation makes you feel funny and a bit bored
- hair is on your head and stomach muscles are still visible on your stomach
- you bike everywhere because you freakin’ can and because, while you sort of care about the planet, biking keeps those stomach muscles on your stomach
- you can identify a dickhead before they talk to you, saving everyone the embarrassment of having to point it out loudly
This has been a completely crap day on top of a pretty naff year. Roll on insanity.
