think you are where you are now 12 months ago?

me - no.

dying - no.

i'd have imagined life would have gone on as normal and bearing in mind i can't remember 2008 until august i'd have had a good job, a nice hom etc. the freakiest thing is that no matter how annoyed i get i can't remember even buying the aprilia!!! i can't remember anything about apart from photos.:o
 
How serious was this crash? And what's dying - no mean?? And will your memory return with time? Sounds like you're in a bad way...hope it gets better

As far as the question goes - yeah I'm pretty much where i expected to be but I hadn't anticipated all the turmoil at work/in the economy. As for this time next year I have no idea at all where I'll be at but I don't expect things to stay the same
 
my lifes gone backwards, i'm worse off than i was a year ago, so no i never expected to be where i am now

Well, I have a much better job now than I did 12 months ago, which is great. But I was also in what I thought was a great relationship 12 months ago, which, a few weeks later, came crashing to the ground. Didn't expect that!
 
older - check
slight pay rise - check
more awesomer - check

as expected, really.
 
No, this time last year I was busy failing A levels wondering what I would be doing after the summer. I am now in quite a good IT job (networking using my CCNA) and where I was hoping I would be (but expecting not to be) in another years time.
 
From no idea to what I was going to do to starting a route to a challenging yet rewarding career.

I could have possibly predicted that, but not the specifics.
 
No, never expected the past year to work out like this.

This time last year, I was about to start a new graduate job which looked very interesting. I finally had a decent amount of money coming in, had a car I was happy with, everything with my parents was going very well for them for once, I was very happy with the outlook for the future.

Then on my first day of my new job I wrote my car off, then my Dad died suddenly in April, I couldn't cope with work because of that and quit. Spent most of the summer living frugally and surviving on savings, now I work part time for a DVD rental shop while trying to get some part of my life back together.

Having said that I'm glad that the person I was last January never knew any of this was coming. I was a much more carefree person then.
 
Honestly? Yeah. Not that I wanted to believe it mind, but life has a habit of dangling things in front of me, then snatching it away at the last moment. I guess nothing really surprises me anymore, it's just the same crap, different day.

Sorry about your dad Haly. :(
