Regrets, I have a few...

[All uphill]

I regret causing pain to people I loved.

Everything else is insignificant.

Lots of this sort of regrets, the list of names would be several pages long.

Not going to Antarctica with the Antarctic servey when I could have.

I was going to post the very same thing. I had the form half filled in but in the end didn't go for it. Not to say I'd be accepted but back then 2.5 years away seemed a very long time so I didn't apply

Not getting a trade at 16
Not riding the south americas with by best friend
Meeting my ex.
Messing up my marriage.
Not leaving the church we were in during COVID.

Calling Mr T a fool

Marrying my first wife, not joining the army as an officer and trying to make a career out of it.

It wouldn’t necessarily be better. Be happy in what you do / did. Too many deeply miserable buggers trying to climb the “career” ladder. Their hourly rate actually goes down as they are expected to work so many more hours with added pressure.

That's actually THE main reason I didn't accept. I didn't want to the the one senior management were ringing on a Sunday afternoon because X wasn't working. That and the suspicion you'd end up trying to manage it..and be expected to do a days maintenance work as well...which is exactly what happened to my good friend and colleague that did accept it...but it was a good career move for him, a younger guy. Me, much as I could handle systems and procedures...I don't do people.

Regrets, I have a few!:

• Getting married when I had just turned 18.
• Having kids. I am not the paternal type of person.
• Getting engaged to a scouser 😂
• Buying a 2017 Rolex Submariner. The older ones are so much nicer.
• Failing to take promotion opportunities earlier in my career.
• Selling my Audermars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “Safari” watch.
• Selling my Ford Mustang.

Hang on, that’s a bit more than a few!
