Doing a routine update of my CV recently, and found myself writing the words "... 20 years experience....". Made me feel quite worn out.
I can remember starting my first job, and one of my pals asked me if there were any other young people at my work.
"Nah," I replied with all the naivety of youth. "There is one guy, but he's 26."

When shopping with DD for her 1st pair of heels to go with her 1st dress in 7 years, so she could look nice for her 1st date to the school dance, I pointed out a pair of shoes with kitten heels and pointy fronts, looked nice they did. No Mum - they are old lady shoes. boohoo, I'm gonna hang meself now.

One of my colleages - when discussing 'heels' said, no I really can't imagine you wearing heels.'![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)

There is nothing wrong with afternoon power naps! Cardigans are a bit scary though.

Here's a really embarrassing one then - remember the old ladies that you see with the big curly hairs sticking out of their chin????? I had one of those (not big and curly but can feel it growing)

However
If I were ever diagnosed with old timers disease then I'd have a blast for a month and then go and do myself in somewhere. No way on this planet would I want to be a burden on someone.
