        I look young. I feel old but I look young. So much so the people I work with thought I was in my early 40’s when I was hired four years ago. I’m nearly 54.

          I am just sad to see people portray gen X and Y as young, as if people can not be old.

          Are these gens just going to work until death, always treated like the Jr.s?

            I get that. We are going to be the generation blamed with everything. They are blaming the boomers now but in just a little while all of it will be our fault.

              I worry it will never be our turn to be at fault, gen X is already retirement age and yet somehow still the kids.

          few 45 year olds look 25 though (like the comic above). I mean your not fooling anyone.

                Maybe I just have beautiful friends, I dunno. But no Grey in beard is not strange and my cartoon friend is wearing a hat, and has cartoon skin.

                  The issue is the boomer in the comic is old, like you can see that. But gen X is just one gen down (45-65 vs 66-79), but drawn like always as young.

                    The issue is that there’s no issue and now it’s getting a little weird so ima go shave, I guess.
