The young ones(major drama queens) I worked with at one place didn’t like having a more experience person working with them and trying to assist them in remembering what their job was so they made up lies to tell the boss to get me in trouble for things I didn’t do or never happened. All they wanted to do is sit and be on their cell phones. AND they would warn newcomers about me. One of the new ones and I became close friends and still are. Other places have been pretty good.
I recently went back to work in a Retirement Community after being retired for many years. When I was being introduced I overheard one lady say to another “She’s as old as WE are.” The staff are all much younger than me as well. Nothing like a challenge….
Someone called me ma’am when I was in my early 30’s, and that made me feel old. But, I didn’t feel really old until college football players started looking like middle school children to me.

Or the day you see a beautiful, young lady & think; “If I had a kid when I was her age he’d be too old for her.”

I was in my early 30’s the first time a customer asked if the teenager working in the store was my son. I’ve been old a very long time.

And the day that you realize that you are older than your supervisor and your GP, you are really old.

First awareness of aging was when I began to be older than the Playboy centerfolds.

Meh…. you’re not old until you’re dead, and then, it no longer matters.

My boss is young enough to be my son. The majority of the other folks are young enough to be my grandchildren.

I reached that point back in the late 80s when my kids started working for me – Now I have G-Grand-children almost old enough to join the work force —
