    Congratulations! You are now in your LATE THIRTIES. You have unlocked the following attributes:

    • sleeping “wrong”
    • fatigue
    • interesting medical conditions
    • sore back
    • crushing sense of ennui
    • realization that you’re never going to get the social security you’ve paid into for your whole career

        I think about this sometimes in the way that if I wanted to start a new career or do something different and I quickly realize im to old to do most things these days… all regular sports have been long gone. Other jobs requiring physical requirements are either over or near the end. I remember seeing the air traffic controller shortage, and they showed the requirements and I laughed and said we’ll I couldn’t even attempt this if I wanted to since they don’t accept people over 31. Lots of options are just gone at this point, and it’s sad and scary.
