Welcome to another edition of OMG I FEEL SO OLD!!!!

It's that time of year again, recruiting season! This is when the kids from all the big colleges call me to book their travel to come to the Law Firm to interview. With the new TSA rules I have to ask them their dates of birth. Obviously they get younger and younger (relative to me) every year. Most of this year's crop was born in 1985 and 1986.

By GOSH, I remember when all your email was THE EXACT SAME COLOR! And it only came in Courier!

I'm having a very Pink Floyd "Time" moment. "Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

And I'm lining up as many people as possible to see if we can get a group discount on some botox.

Don't you just want to haul off and slap them sometimes? :)

At least this one was polite and more or less coherent, although we did have a bit of confusion as to how many nights she needed at the hotel.

The other thing that drives me nuts is knowing that these kids will make more in their first year than I'll make in five or something like that. This girl had a LOT of interviews lined up in the LA and SF areas. So the chances are she's going to be hired as an associate by a high-profile law firm in Calfornia.

I feel your pain. I hate young people.

Kurt Cobain agrees!

You can colour code gmail (I'm younger than her and I did not know this)

That 'girl' is six years older than I.

I have no idea, really. I forgive you for being insanely young. You have an old soul. :)

You have an old soul. :)

I get that a lot xD

Besides you have to get old but you don't have to grow up.

I totally understand you! I feel awkward especially when meeting people born in 1986, because that year I was 17 and a lot of things happened then....I remeber 1986 like it was yesterday and instead, meanwhile, a baby born then have had the time to grow up, and now maybe is a collegue of mine.....!!!!

What's getting scary are all the things I can no longer remember about 1986, 87 88. And of course the idea that theoretically these kids are young enough to be my children. ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!
