Phone call between my husband and cold calling boiler room stock broker:

My dad and I have a very similar relationship except the cussing doesn't bother him. But the fact I didn't want kids? That one got trotted out on the regular until I asked how often he bugged my brothers about whether they were going to have them.

A guy in my graduating class posted on Facebook that he would be more excited to enter the real world if the workplace was more like that of Mad Men. I told him to try saying that in a room full of women, and even his mom “liked” my comment. So sorry it's still a reality in your company. :(

Add one more.. Dress like a local. When I was in New Orleans in December, I did not run around in a T-shirt and shorts even though it was 65 out.

Do you recall writing "sad middle…

Notwithstanding the fact that I'm a washed up middle-american hag, I actually did read what you wrote. "Prematurely aging" can be voluntary.

The "sad middle of America" is awfully big for that generalization. FYI: us sad middle of Americans aren't all a bunch of prematurely aging rubes.

C'mon, I'm 45 and I know how the internet & social media work. It's set in Brooklyn and every other Dad my age dresses like we're still 15. Forced premise is forced.
