I've been trying to find the thread where we were all polled about our ages/birthdays/whatever, but I'm thinking that one must have been on the old forum, because I can't find it in either General nor the Health & Advice threads.
...but I would not be surprised to discover that as of now, "in your 50's" (by which I mean 45-59) could conceivably be the forum average, or at least close. Halforums is going to turn 16 this year, and there was all that time beforehand, which means the veterans here are going to be close to +20yrs from when we first gathered.

There were several polls like that done by Steinman, I'm sure there were also some on this iteration. Of course, what with our admins occasionally destroying databases and reverting to three month old backups in Ye Olden Tymes, who knows.

I turn 59 in a couple weeks.
Counting Neptune years instead of Earth years is kinda cheating, though.
 
I have an interview this morning for a new position within my company. Please wish me luck, say a prayer, rub a good luck charm, sacrifice a goat. Whatever it takes that you think will give me the most luck to get this.
Welp, I think the interview went well. I'll hear in a few weeks if I get it.

It started out on a very high note, as I learned at the same time that I'm going to the Chairman's Choice Awards again this year. I'm winning an award for the work within my department for the past year. Which means a paid day off, a free stay at The Muir hotel, and a dinner at the Smoke & Ash restaurant. Those are super swanky places in downtown Halifax.

Heck of a way to start an interview by saying you're getting another award two years in a row. If that's not an indication of a good employee, I don't know what is.
 
Guy at my work just said he’s broke. I can get behind that. But the WAY he said it…

“I am so broke I have to jack off the dog to feed the cat.”

Uh…WHAT?!?
My siblings and I just went home to visit my Dad this weekend for his 60th. My parents had me really young though.
 
I find it really weird that we've been a group so long that I'm now actually probably older or at least very near the age @Dave was when we first met. I'll never admit to that, though, because I'm young and spry still while he was born old and decrepit. ;)

What was that sonny? We’ve gotten so d our hearing is starting to really go. It only uses to be we couldn’t “hear” our wives, now we can’t hear the announcers of whatever sport I’m napping to.
 
We've been around for close to 20 years right? I was in undergrad during image forums. When did halfpixel go live? Sadly Yahoo purged my email which had my registration emails from back then.
 
I got a choose your own adventure book; I died on my first read through.
This book goes hard. I've lost my soul to hell, been blown up into a million pieces, eaten by wolves, become an indentured servant to a psychopath and having my heart broken was the best ending so far! Is this really a kids book?

I didn't know there was a novelization of Edge of Tomorrow*.
