And I’m ‘Almost’ Old!

So, as the previous post points out, I live in the state whose population is growing fatter faster than the other forty-nine.

And now, the Supreme Court has made it official that I’m just months shy of turning ‘old’.

“In a victory for older workers, the Supreme Court concluded Wednesday that people over 40 can sue for alleged age discrimination under a less burdensome legal standard of proof.”

At my job, I expect such age discrimination may first go on display come softball season when my co-workers are likely to put me in right field or on the bench. Then again, that’s where I played when I was eight as well, hmmm.

Regardless, I’m doomed to be fat and old. What a week! Next stop, male pattern baldness!
