I'm beginning to fear that question. My answers are furtive and futile
attemt to justify myself. Obviously wasting something or other. People
look at me funny.
Oh, no - wait - it's just me.
No-one else has any real problem with what I'm (not) doing. Heck, middle-aged people with good careers envy this drifting and eagerly listen to the options, the side-projects. I ask "what're you up to" and it's The Same Old. Then they ask me more about my plans and smile.
"...some of the most interesting forty-year-olds I know still don't."
