    Ah there are 2 temps in the office today. Not programmers, but spreadsheet jockeys, I've deciphered [^] They look like children. Now I'm 30 in 60 days, but these kids look like kids. Is this a Dickens story, where 11 year olds got real jobs? On another note, I went to see a friend's sketch group perform at his University 2 weekends ago, that was the first time I felt old, in my life

        Lol, in 60 days you will have the bad one. 30 sucked. I intentionally call late teens, early twenties children. It ticks them off.

        Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

            Good call. At my old job, there was an HR temp that looked a little young. After watching a grown man hit on her, the HR manager sent an e-mail introducing her 15 year old daughter as the summer temp. :doh:

              The problem is that I look young. I was at a NYE party this year and everyone was asking "What is your major?" The problem with people that age is they don't know how to drink and like to get violent really quick. It's safer to hang out with retired hipsters like myself.

                  At my last job one of our IT support guys lost his job after getting it on with the 15 year old daughter of the HR manager. Although he was only in his late teens, and last I heard they were still together so the HR manager couldn't have been that concerned about their relationship.

                  Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                      I don't remember growing older. One thing to I love to point out to those with fewer years them myself: "You'll be a lot older then I am when you reach my age" Where the difference really shows is my expectations from music, cinema, etc, all of which seem to have become forgotten arts.

                                  I do not. I am happy to age in base 10, but at thirty I decided that I needed to delay the inevitable so reassigned the next few years. I went back to normal at 38, but I will be 45 in 25 days, and that's a record!

                                      I do not. I am happy to age in base 10, but at thirty I decided that I needed to delay the inevitable so reassigned the next few years. I went back to normal at 38, but I will be 45 in 25 days, and that's a record!
