    nursing a hangover and getting ready for the commute to work

    Ah, that sucks a lot. Suffering through a day of work with a massive hangover is no joke… unfortunately I know this too well.

    Getting old –

    Hey, looking at the bright side: getting old beats the alternative of dying too young.
    But I catch your drift. A few people always told me that it’ll gradually turn worse once you hit 30, and damn - some days they were damn right. 😮‍💨

      beats the alternative

      Definitely!

      once you hit 30

      I don’t know. I think I felt young until 40. Now, not so much😅

        I think I felt young until 40.

        I guess it’s more the creeping realisation that you’re now perceived as “old” by younger folks (teens, young adults) and that you’re noticing signs of aging that set in at 30. Also, crippling back and neck pain but that could just be related to my field of work 🤔

          Yeah, that’s right. In my field of work at the time, at age 30, you just about finished you PhD and were considered to be at the very beginning of your career. That helped keeping up the illusion of youth 😅

          Now that I have experienced professionals in my team that are 10 years younger than me, the perception changes.

            Younger colleagues are definitely a reality check, but at least they help to keep in touch with young generations and don’t become like the grumpy old folks only nagging about them. It’s also a definite telltale sign that I’m getting older when songs/movies/tv shows from my youth are only mentioned in the context of “cult classics”, “forgotten gems” or “good old times”…
