50 Year Anniversary
Today, the members of our staff are honoring the 50 Year Anniversary of one of our associates withing the office. The Anniversay commemmorates 50 years of living life. Some people think that 50 means that you're old. I do. In fact, everyone younger than 50 thinks it's old. However, those older than 50 yearn to feel that young again I suppose. I have over twenty years to grow before I become that old.
While the person who is becoming so old shall remain nameless, that person can rest assured that life will only get easier. For others that old or older, they wax poetic about the discounts available to them, retirement, and great-great grandchildren. The 50 year old generation is important, too. They survived the 80's! They, too, have seen multiple great wars involving many in the world. One day, they'll tell their great grandchildren about the Great Recession. They'll speak of a time when the internet was actually the middle pound net. They'll remember times when talking over a telephone were the quickest and most convenient way to speak with distant friends. Many of those around the mid-century mark will also discuss with their brethren how rapidly the world is changing. We've all either accepted or ignored the general consensus that while change is constant, it is also rapid in this day and age.
So, Congratulations You Know Who You Are In Our Office on turning 50. But I'd never know it unless someone told me...
In unrelated news, I broke one of my New Year's Resolutions by accidentally writing the date as 1/2/11 instead of 1/2/12...lasted less than 36 hours...
Enjoy the day...
