If that former manager can’t see that you don’t get to be “Just like you” without gaining in years then you wouldn’t want to work for them.
Every few years I raise my definition old.
Of old.
60 is the new 40. Really.
I’m old, and I don’t try to deny it with the “you’re only as old as your mind tells you” crap. One of the most annoying commercials on tv is the one where this woman says she doesn’t need one of those phone alert things to call for help because “thats for old people.” She’s gotta be in her 80’s. Every time the commercial comes on I want to yell “you’re old,,,accept it!”
I’m glad to hear that since I turned 60 last month .... :)
Personnel droids batten down the hatches when they hear it is nearby.
I know what a squat switch (WOW switch) is, and can do 802.11(whichever) math, rf and/or binary, depending. I also cook.
Forget drawing a regular paycheck doing any of that kind of technical stuff. Thanks, we'll give you a call.
Build it yourself or give up, after a certain age. I'm not likely to turn me down for a job for being 'too old'.

Thanks! Nice to receive on my birthday ;-)
Ain’t that the truth.

Of old.
Worst sign of growing old is forgetting prepositions.
LOL, I know. It’s going fast.
In one of his debates Ronaldus Maximus (who was 73 when he was reelected in ‘84) defended himself against charges he was too old to be president by saying:
“I want you to know also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”
I hada friend the other day, she is 65, ask me whether there was a medical reason for her wrinkles.
She thought she might be dehydrated...lol
I’ve gotten to the point where if I can’t find something, the first place I look is in the refrigerator.
Or pretty, in my case. ;)
The up side is you can say pretty much whatever you want.

August was 60 for me. :) I love it! People now MUST listen to us. We have gravitas!
One should respect their elders but as time goes on they get fewer and fewer in numbers. Rather than accept growing old gracefully, I fight back. Try parachuting out of a perfectly good airplane sometime. Or para sailing. The older I get the less fear I should show. I’m going to die anyways. Don’t fear the reaper the song says. I came into this world naked, kicking and screaming and with somebody elses blood all over my body and I can go out the same way.
What an arrogant idiot. She has got to be in Silicon Valley and probably a big Obama supporter.
