I am the oldest person in my office. I'm older than my boss and all of the attorneys I work for. Growing old is depressing for a lot of reasons, but one thing that's really annoying is my outdated frame of reference and shared social context. When I spill some of the drink I'm drinking on my shirt and say, "I still have my drinking problem," all I get are blank looks. *sigh*
One of the attorneys told me today that he's been listening to '90's music because it reminds him of his childhood. (!!!) I told him the music that reminds me of my childhood is Captain & Tennille. So now I've had "Muskrat Love" running through my head all afternoon...
Muskrat Susie, muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug down in muskrat land...
{Captain & Tennille, "Muskrat Love"}
The Final Insult
And just now the cute little copy center guy called me "Sir," as in "Don't break a hip, sir."
