Man, I am OLD
Set aside for the moment that a gazillion things have happened since I last wrote, including a job change. I'll get to that, maybe, eventually. In the meantime, an actual conversation as I waited for a staff meeting to get started today:
Co-Worker #1: I got engaged this weekend!
Someone: Who's the lucky guy?
C-W #1: You know, it's all been very "When Harry Met Sally," you know? We kind of dated, we were friends, and all of a sudden we realized we're soulmates, and we're getting married!"
Co-Worker #2: That movie's before my time.
Me, incredulous: What do you mean? That movie came out in, like, the late '80s.
C-W #2: Yeah, I was born in 1987.
Me: [stunned silence, mouth hanging open.] YOU WERE BORN IN NINETEEN EIGHTY-SEVEN????
I am officially old. Better than the alternative, I guess.

Hey, CW#2, does that mean you can't watch a film made before your birthdate? I understood your "before my time" comment to be an ego-driven plea for attention. "Look how young I am! Give ME the attention, not CW#1!"
Good thing you aren't applying for a job with TW, because I would emphatically urge her to throw your resume in the "no chance pile." But since you are already employed, I would suggest you get your 23-year old, firm ass online or in front of a TV and watch Harry Met Sally.
Before my time. Sheesh!
