Aspiration.
I was in my performance review earlier this week with the Manager I had for almost 12 years and the new Manager I've had for about 4-6 months.
One of the categories was Career Goals
& Aspirations. I had to point out to both of them that they had incorrectly spelled the word as Assperations. They looked at each other and said "Really? Spell check didn't flag it."
I almost added "Finding a new job" to my list.
