Temps!

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

You are not going to be 30, you will be 29A.

I still try for 35 and a bit. Okay it's a elephant big bit, but a bit none the less.

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 love getting tagged as my daughter's sister. She hates it. I'll be 45 this year but usually get pegged for early thirties. I love seeing the expression on peoples' faces when I say I have a 21 year old son in college. I've had a couple of people ask if I had a kid when I was 12. Sometimes they think I'm pulling their leg. My daugther who is 18 almost 19 looks about 12. I was letting her drive one day and the individual at the drive thru asked how old she was. She said my daughter didn't look old enough to drive.
If you can’t have fun at work, then why go to work?

That's pretty funny. My fiance is 26 and still gets carded very hard for tobacco products.

I bet his college buddies give him a ton of sunshine! I had a coworker that was 40 something and most people didn't know it. She was even a grandmother which pretty much nobody believed either.

The law for 16 is usually around what they can and can not do. Actually and office is the most likely place a 15 year old could do a job because there are no "machines" etc. that they are legally not allowed to use or be near. For example, a 15 year old is not allowed to go into a walk in freezer. For that reason resataraunts rarely hire 15 year olds. AFAIK that is what child labor laws protect. Otherwise even a 5 year old can work, but it ends up more the discression of the employer. I had my first 'job' at 11. Shocking.. No it shouldn't be. I was a paperboy. Technically I had jobs even early but they were not steady.. Lawn care etc. (honestly was probablly breaking laws there, but I have never seen a dad locked up for having his kid mow the lawn...)

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.

You've already broken your hip?
It was broke, so I fixed it.
