Agriv8 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 So classed a key worker mobilising our pensions staff paying ex local gov staff to work from home. priority last week was older staff and those with health issues. This week was Those needing to support close family. So talking to one of the lasses while talking through the security of the remote login procedure . Member of staff had been with us for a good 10 years so not a teenager. But it’s the fist time I had really struck up a conversation as she works at one of the branch offices. me Kayleigh that’s an interesting name ! member of staff oh blame my parents my dad liked this band and they had a song called kayleigh don’t know what the band was called. me oh it’s one of the first albums I bought ! hell fire I know I am marching on for the half century but that suddenly made me feel bloody old. Maybe I should be working from home as high risk ! so come on fess up what suddenly makes you think you may be on the down side of your peak.

JTaylor91 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I was on my way to a day festival a while back. Some people younger than me said they hoped they were still going to a festival at my age. I was 24........... they were probably just 18. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Groaning when you out your socks on, looking for something to help you stand up after kneeling on the floor for five minutes. Seeing your children get married have children and then think, I've become my dad, I'm in the middle my dad's the elder male now. You realise you become the next generation, that makes you feel old.

kennett Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Not at work, but when flicking through Netflix at the weekend and saw the original series of "Teachers" with Andrew Lincoln. Which I remember watching and enjoying, then realising it came our 20 years ago 😬 Edited April 1, 2020 by kennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to when I realised I was old, that was when I could not easily pick up heavy stuff and bump it around without feeling pain. Oh and on Monday one of the young whipper snappers at work was chatting about age and he is 21! Edited April 1, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m probably the age of some of your grandchildren yet I felt old the other day when my middle son called me a ‘stinky old man’ and the other two laughed in hysterics 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol p Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Strangely I felt my age on the day Jenson Button retired. Having watched and followed his racing from very early on, it just hit me that he could retire. He was only 20, wasn’t he? No, just me losing track of time by being too busy doing the right thing.

The Mighty Prawn Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 It blew my mind when a new hire in my office was revealed to have been born after the Spice Girls were first number one! Next year I expect to hire my first person whose year of birth starts with a 2 - that's going to hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
