Things that make you feel old

[Muta]

I'm not considered to be in the 'young' group anymore in the office. I was five years ago tho, and I'm only 29!

Relevant XKCD



Draft birthdates for sure...95'ers? Jeebus.

I just went through some old boxes from my Dad's place, found my Commodore 64 and all the sweet games, Load Runner, Paper Boy, Spellunker.. good times.

I was on the verge of just throwing the damn thing out before I opened the box, now there is no way I can part with it.. I might have to fire it up and see if it actually still works though.

The only time I really feel old is when I look in the mirror. I can tune out the other cues, but I can't get by the fact that I've aged so much in the past 5 years! Yikes!

my first computer had a 386 processor; we upgraded to 4 MB of ram and 10 MB HDD for nearly $3000

Knowing my oldest niece is graduating this year. I was 14 when she was born.

Man when I was a kid and everyone else was getting NES systems, my dad bought us a C64 with a box of floppies at a garage sale. Many of those games are etched in my memory now. Bruce Lee, Jumpman, Squish'em, Space Taxi, Trolls and Tribulations, and Summer Games are just a few.

We then picked up a cartridge at some yard sale years later called Jupiter Lander. It was our only cartridge.

You're right. You typed in ,8,1 when loading specific applications - My mistake. You then typed in Run<return>.

Instead of list you could also type in L and then either shift i or control and i or something like that.

My age.

Caught my wife needing her granny reading glasses to read the instructions on her new birth control pills.

Granny reading glasses and birth control pills were never something I thought would ever be used together in the same sentence.

The fact that I can lay claim to actually get paid by a company to do board drafting. In fact, of all the drafting courses I took in school, only three of them didn't require me to do a hand drawn pencil drawing of some sort.

This makes me feel old for two reasons:
1) I vividly recall seeing the original at the theater with my dad when I was 5, and now I realize that it was almost 12 frickin years ago. (Same goes with Jurassic Park 3 - we watched a lot of movies together)
2) I'm going to college next year.

Lol, seriously, "exclaims she"? I think with all the posters fellating cowperson everytime he types, he's starting to go for a pulitzer with every post.

When I was standing in front of the mirror shirtless and thought my chest hair was falling out because it looked thin - then upon closer inspection it was all still there but had just turned grey.
