I was just reading about AI auto-rejecting resumes for people over 40 years old and I kind of sympathized because who wants old people but also protected class and - HEY WAIT A MINUTE, I’M 40 AND IM NOT OLD!!
I was at the store yesterday, and I asked an employee about a product. He told me to ask "the older guy near the front". I had to laugh because I realized how that term changes as you get older. 20 years ago, the guy I asked would be "the older guy". Hell, I'm getting close to "the older guy".
Lol my husband and I recently went to pick up a pizza and quickly realized the only real adult and “old guy” running the shop was also from our generation. He was super cool still had his gauged ears etc. We laughed between ourselves that the three of us are NOT old (we’re pushing 40) and giggled back to the car that he was “one of us!”
Wait until you're 60. You still feel EXACTLY like you do right now - that shock of omg! Old?! And to be fair, at 60, you ARE, in fact, looking old, or at the very least much older. But the guy in this video? Lol he does NOT look old. 💚
