I am the very definition of slacker.

At school, 7 O grades, A Maths, Arithmetic, Physics, B Engineering Science, Technical drawing, C English and something else (need to check) 2 Highers Bs in Maths and Physics, stayed on to 6th year and phoned it in.

Got made a prefect 5th and 6th year and had a dinner ticket scam going that made me a few bob.

In all honesty, I was a waster at school, hardly studied, hopelessly underachieved and never had any sort of life plan.

Got accepted to RGIT early in 6th year and never bothered my erse after that, then commenced a brief and spectacularly unsuccessful two term flirtation with further education.

Got huckled out of that, drifted around a few jobs, spent time on the dole, drifted into a civil service gig and am now, and have been for some time, at a local managerial level in a peripheral arm of government stuff.

Though I'm content enough with my lot in life currently, I desperately wish I'd found a focus at a young age and stuck in at it.
