Light at the end of the tunnel

Two more days of night shift, then I'm on days for the next little while. Woo!

My colleagues all signed a birthday card for me, which was sweet, only they got my age wrong, which I thought was hilarious. It was full of "Congrats on turning 30!" notes, and "Welcome to the new decade!" etc. Which, of course, I already did last year.

I giggled madly until they forced me to explain myself, and then they were all sheepish.

None of them believe that I'm much over 25 anyway. I have a baby face. I got carded in places until I was well into my mid to late twenties.

Still, I appreciated the card. It was a nice gesture.

People usually underestimate my age, as well. Hey, it's a good thing, isn't it? Almost as good as eternal youth.

Indeed. In another ten years, this will totally be a blessing. Right now it's amusing, and ten years ago it was really annoying.

here I was thinking twenty one twenty two or so. I always have the reverse issue. Everyone always thinks I'm older than I am.

Really? Gosh... I haven't had anyone think I'm quite that young in a while. Must be all the giddy excited chattering I was doing during the trip. :D

The beard does make you look older.
