Things that make you feel old...

[Laurel Green]

At the other end of the scale, I've never sent a text - just an old fart am I.

I've just hired someone who was born in 1997!

Same year my GF was born, year younger than me. My driving licence says 19/06/2014. But my AA card says 1978 XD

In september I will have been in my current job (IT manager) for 19 years. At some point someone is going to join and I will honestly be able to say "Trust me... Ive been teaching people to use Excel since before you had a hole in your ar5e" ....... actually feeling even older now.... ive just realised I had 4 years employment elsewhere before my current job......



There are people I sit with I can say it to tomorrow :-(

I received a nice photo message of my son and his kids with their Easter eggs. Replied thanks as you do.
My son then replied that the photo has been taken and sent to me by his 3 year old, without any adult knowing!

It is frightening how quick kids pick up how to use smart phones. In my day my dad needed my help to programme the VCR, now my 8yo nephew is downloading games and doing allsorts of things I don't know how to do on tablets, phones and laptops.

Posters under 50 years of age should be banned from this thread, YOU ARE NOT OLD but you are making me feel very old

Sorry sir

I propose a new form of etiquette on this thread, and hopefully it will spread throughout the whole forum. Henceforth, every junior should address every senior as "Sir" . It will be a "back to basics" reinstatement of civility from a better age. And, slightly worryingly will serve as an ever present reminder to those poor souls ever referenced as "Sir" that they are indeed...... very old.

I make most of my colleagues feel old, as I'm at least 5 years younger than the next youngest and mostly a decade if not two younger than the majority. Only really shows up when a song from yesteryear comes on the radio and I have no idea who it is.

I'm the youngest in my office by about 22 years

Was the youngest in my first workplace by 20 years (one of the reasons I left was due to my boss treating me like a child, I'm about the same age as his son).

Still the second youngest where I am now actually but only just.

With the oldest of us, an eight year old girl, in charge we went to the cinema by bus to see Summer Holiday when it was new.

Pfft. Maybe it's something about IT Managers, but I've been working for the same boss (indirectly) since 2 June 1980. Only been IT Manager since 1995 though. I'll be getting the hang of it soon.

Indeed 24 years in IT and teenagers still seem surprised when you're on the internet.

I had my first computer in the 1970s you snot nose bd!

Went to the opticians the other day, he reckoned in another couple of years I'll need varifocals, that made me feel old.

45 today but deemed old by all the youngsters in the office. I have worked for 29 years which is longer than some have them have been alive. But in the great words of Roy Batty “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain”.

When looking at dude links online I find myself clicking MILFS before TEENS.

One day the "MILFS" will be younger women!

[romeogolf]

I'll be 27 in a little over a month. That's worryingly close to 30.
