Aging is not for the faint of heart, but the alternative is worse.


Oh for heaven's sake, this is totally off topic.


I don't think it is. That post was only post that was relevant.

Yeah, but those kids aren't meeting with clients and aren't bringing clients in.

No, it's not. And you'll realize when you get there.

In the last 6 months I've had two friends die of cardiac arrest (both thin, non smokers, 54 and 56), two friends have adult children OD, three friend's divorce and my wife got a bad diagnosis after some weird symptoms (advanced Lyme disease) and we aren't even 'old' yet at 55.

Agree fake post but OP is playing like he’s English with “bloody” and “lift” but that is incongruent with “jeans and shit”

Low effort post 1/10

Holy Hell, I'm old as PHUCK.

I am 52, surrounded by a bunch of children.

Professional services firm in NYC. We're on two floors. But even the lift taking us up to the upper floors kept dropping off these Gen Z children who were dressed in like jeans and shit.

Like. This is soooooo depressing the hell out of me.


So, you’re British but you’re not; you phonetically cuss, are unable to describe clothes and use lots of oooooos and “like”

I think the problem is you don’t know who the hell you are. It’s not the kids.

Also 54 and feel the same as you OP. I think I might be the only one of my age without a remote work arrangement. I think I messed up not asking for one.

I wore jeans to work in 2000. What’s wrong with jeans?

Kind of sad that you are so judgmental based on what someone is wearing. If there's no client meeting, what's wrong with jeans?
