I look older now...

Started my new job.
Me and 4 others brought in as consultants. As such, we are sort of an after thought, thrown into a closet in cramped quarters with none of the fun or benefits of being a real employee.

We have quickly begun to banter with one another.

I never say "A black guy" or " A black Girl" but for the purpose of this, I am pointing it out because the attitude is what I find the most funny.

New girl hired along with me (Imagine Nell Carter)

Nell: "So Um... How olt are you anyway"
Me: "That's an odd question. I'm um 38 why"
Nell: "Nope, No way you are a day under 45"
Me: "That's um... I er.. ok"

Nell: "How you gonna have all that grey hair and be 38?"
Nell: "Look at me. I never had a grey hair before. Im forty two"

Me: "Auugh Well I guess, I just. I mean it is in my genes or"

NEll (interrupting) "STRESS! MMM hmmmmm yup yup"
Nell: You all stressed out all the time. Stress causes Grey hair. I bet you stress about everything all the time don't you.

Me: "I guess, I tend to worry about stuff. I am kind of always stressed about something but I think genetics really plays a bigger"

Nell: (Interrupting)" Hey Charles! Check out "Silver Fox" over here always be stressing all the time. Goin all grey. Swears he's only 38"

Charles is also a person of um (Just imagine Will Smith or Pherrel. He is all GQ)

Charles: "The reason I shave my head is because I am all Gray. Age has nothing to do with it"

Nell: "Sure. Whateva. Hey Bryan, I see they got your picture added to the email system. Now everyone is going to know you are stressin all the time with your grey hair"

I swear I turn to Charles and ask him how old he is and when I turn back around Nell is like 6 inches from me (snuck up behind me), I turn around and she locks eyes with me and says "You gotta stop stressin out. You are stressin out right now arent ya?"

She busts out laughing and says "Im just messin with you.... But I still say you are not a day under 45"


This is going to be an interesting gig. Starting off weird enough.

You don't look a day over 80.

The photos below were allegedly taken the same year (1965). One man was 39 and the other 37 that year. You're about their average age at that time. The "older" one was killed off at the end of the first TV season they were in because the network of the series they were in wanted to bring in the "younger" guy. But "younger" guy was actually older than the "older" guy.
