I HATE THAT!! I am 22 (sorry to sound like a broken record) and I look like
I am 15 (nothing against looking like you are 15) and it sometimes the
most annoying thing.  Eric, my husband, is also like that too.  We were
hanging out one night and decided to walk to the nearest 7-11, and I
got a bottle of wine.  As we are standing in line to pay for it, the
woman at the cash register thros the biggest fit, demanding ID from
Erc and myself, and Eric's yelling "I'm 21, just relax!" because it
takes time to open his wallet and pull out his driver's license.

I got my first job when I was 17, fresh out of high school.  People
would say I looked 13.  Some of them almost died when they found out I
could drive!

As for now, well, that's a major problem.  While I was in college, I
did a lot fo stuff with the Student Union.  Basically, I was doing
graphics on a professional level in school.  I've also taken
a management class, been to management and leadership seminars, retreats,
conferences, etc, and I had one full year of management experience
running a Union committee.  So I know a little bit about it.  ANyway,
we are now in the middle of my 6 month reveiw at the company I
work for, and I complained about managemtn in the form I was supposed
to fill out.  I was discussing one individual in particular, who
keeps telling me he is going to train me to use MacDraw when he gets the time.
I keep saying I have been using it for three years, but Joe chooses
to ignore me.  Joe's response?  "Karen should improve her versaitlity
and understanding of office procedure."

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

I also hate laggggggggg!

I have a friend back in wilson who is 15 and just got his permit to drive.He
looks like he is 7 and is as small sa some seven year olds I know.I really
feel bad for him because we are good friends and I over hear some of the
comments people make and they are bad.I tell the other kids to stop picking on
him but he seems not to mind.I am picked on because all through grade school
and high school I used big print books.I used too run my mouth too a lot of the
kids that picked on me.The funny thing is if a friend of mine picked on me it 
was okay byt if someone else that really was not a friend said the very same 
thing too me I would get very angry.That might be the same way with him because
if i say something to him about his size he laughs but someone else whom he does
not know says it he get pissed off.
