    Jesus, now I feel old

    The receptionist just opened up a meeting room for me and told me how she's so tired because she was at a beach party till 6am, had 2 hours sleep and is still drunk! She looks fresh as a daisy, because she's 20!

    I on the other hand had eight hours sleep but look like i've been up at a beach party all week drinking.

      I'd inform HR and watch her get marched out of the door. That'll learn her.

                Ha! Whipper snapper! You wait until you reach 40!

                The problem with being over 40 is that you wake up every day and something else is broken. Enjoy the good times while you can.

                BTW I hope you spent your late teens/early twenties partying at every opportunity? I had a great time.

                  Yes, that's what I keep hearing. I'm dreading 40.

                  Oh yes, I was partying till my early 30s. When I wasn't earning a great deal I spent all my money on partying. My idea was to have a good time while I was young but make sure I was learning stuff that would enable to me to get paid and save properly later.

                    speak for yourself mid forties & everything works, sometimes more than 2 times a night.
