What were you up to in 2007?

My side hustle website got big enough in 2007 to allow me to quit my day job and go all in with it.
What was it called?

Finishing up high school. Had a passion for animation, was practicing flash animation for a while.
Was in scouts, specifically venturers. Was at the age where I finally was able to have some confidence and just enjoy life, had some camps that I remember fondly to this day.

I can't recall anything in particular - I was working, I had a dog... But I had a look at a "what's in my bag" photo I took that year, and it included a cheque book, a diary, a Nokia phone, a Palm Pilot, an MP3 player, a compact digital camera and a portable radio. All of which have been superseded by one single device. Amazing.

That was my junior to senior year of college. I was majoring in aeronautics at ERAU.

My son was also born in 2007. So, I was up to all the excitement and worry about becoming a new dad, is what I was up to the most of 2007!
Also, painting and putting together a lot of baby furniture. And reading the baby books. And feeling more terrified than I ever had before. And also more excited, than I had been for anything in my life.
Great year.

Jumping on the bed while at our cabin in the woods. I was five years old, and my parents had a big bed you could jump on.
The cabin is now gone, but I recently found a dvd with videos taken there, one of them even has the voice of my grandfather in it, which I haven't heard in thirteen years.
The cabin got tore down last year after a disagreement with the owner of the plot we were renting. I guess being there with my family for over 45 years, and paying for her entire education was not good enough. -

I'd finally secured a permanent, full-time job in IT at the age of 29. Then my new girlfriend, who was a charming alcoholic with borderline personality disorder, convinced me to quit and travel the world with her. Which I did. We broke up somewhere in Malaysia. I sent my 30th working on reception in a Backpacker joint in Brisbane. I regret nothing!
Now happily married, 2 kids (11 an 9) and working as an IT manager back in my hometown.

Finishing up my medical college and starting my internship one of the most fun I had in a year. Where I could actually play doctor. Working for 36-48 hours covered in blood, pus, urine, luckily no faeces.

wrote last edited by [email protected]going through the motions of being a student in CCollege system, plus struggling. additionally found out how many people were struggling due the schools some courses were even harder than a state university, they wanted to match an IVY league level coursework, so naturally people were delayed or loss motivation to transfer to a uni, a not small but significant portion stay for more than 2+years(alot are around 4-10+years). english courses are brutal to people who arnt natural good writers,(part of the cause is people in hs arnt graduating with much proficient grammer, or essay writing to begin with), almost every course, theres usually only 1-2 naturally good writers, everyone else is expected to struggle in english course. even the lower-level english course is not very kind to students.

I have a terrible memory for what year events in the past took place.
Luckily I keep all my old resumes! So I just found out that was the year I went back to school to study music, after having dropped out of high school and working random jobs for the previous 5 years.I quit a boring office job to work part time in a comic shop at the same time as studying.
Music school was great until a minor drunken injury cause me to defer my studies until the following year.

At the end of the year, I was being made redundant for the second time. I ended up being self-employed for around a decade as there were no jobs to be had in my industry after the August 2007 credit crunch.

I was in a (very) long distance relationship at the time, and decided it was worth taking risks and making bold moves, so I moved to close the distance. We got married in 2008, and are married still, so that worked out great. I tried keeping in touch with friends, but over time our life experiences diverged to the point where we just didn't have a lot to talk about anymore, and old friendships fizzled out. I learned many things, got new jobs and made new friends, and overall life is good.
Great!
A much more wholesome story than I expected!
Sadly, some kind of tragic refugee story is much more likely nowadays... -

I was in my last year working as a loan underwriter. I was otherwise living in a way that excited me, and played into my antisocial tendencies. It was a fun time.

Fisheries patrols and exercises mostly. I was a marine mechanic in the RCN.
Ah, OK!
Language misunderstanding on my part, as apparently "sailing" in English does not exclusively refer to wind-powered means of locomotion...
