[QUOTE=NinjaChick] I think it’s fun to say you feel old once you’re into your 20s, only to watch those who are a couple decades older than you start to weep. [/QUOTE] _sigh_ ya know, I _used_ to like you. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=TheMerchandise] 25. But if I dress right (wrong?) people still ask me what grade I’m in. [/QUOTE] _shakes fist at **TheMerchandise** _ In response to people commenting about how old they feel… I may be pushing 24, but I’m practically still a teenager (without the angst and snottyness). Sadly, when people try to estimate my age, they go the other way and typically guess I’m in my early 30’s. It’s probably the hair loss ☹ 21? Man… the more I learn about **NinjaChick** the more I wish I could be all suave and go after her. ---

40 in January. At that, out of 70-odd folks in my department at work, maybe 3-5 are younger and none are under 30 ( I think ). The greying workforce, indeed :p.
