Regrets,

I've had a few. In keeping with my "office" theme, I'll share one my life's regrets. Trivial though it may be, here it is:

While attending University, I had a couple part-time jobs my first year. I worked at the Salt Lake Acting Company for a few weeks, then I worked at Arttix for a few months, and then I got a job as a runner for a title company. I followed that up with a job assisting commerical real estate agents. I had the latter job for my last two and half years of university. I worked 1pm to 5pm Monday through Friday. I tailored my class schedule around that job. It was a typical office job. I enjoyed it, it paid really well, and I got alot of great experience - including a real estate agent's license. Now, however, in hindsight, I really regret not working in retail. At Nordstrom or Banana Republic or similar. I can't figure out why I was so bloody obsessed with having a "professional" type office job. Surely I'd have had more fun working with kids my own age -- getting discounts on clothing or the like -- and having "shift work." Years later, I spend all my days in an office and envy the kids working at J.Crew. Lame, I know. But there it is, one of my life's regrets.

Or working as a lifeguard. I should have worked as a lifeguard in the summers.

Anyone else care to share job regrets?

p.s. I've another one: I regret that I have taken to referring to myself as Bubba (albeit only in my thoughts). For example, I just had an internal conversation with myself that went something like this: "Does Bubba need a little more lunch, or is he full?" "He's full." I hope that I stop mentally calling myself "Bubba" soon.

And I regret sharing the Bubba bit with you.
