Definately an Age Gap

Co worker: Did you notice that Dan has added a status/message next to your name? He's a bad boy.
kajsiaotteson: i don't have any status message on my computer. (referring to yahoo instant messenger)
kajsiaotteson: ...
Co worker: It show us as " Is wearing Red Long Hair Swept Back on Side"
kajsiaotteson: oh...
kajsiaotteson: that is because that is what my avatar is wearing in the picture.
Co Worker: I've never seen it before ...
kajsiaotteson: oh.

"There's nothing worse then being a

car owner," is what the chatty co-worker said to me while grabbing peanut M&M's from the giant yellow bag.

"oh really?" i ask with raised eye brows. "What about pestilence and plague? A disease? losing a limb....?"

"I mean... honestly, nothing is more annoying than....BLAH BLAH."
I can see i am having a huge impact in this conversation.

I walk into work today and at all major entrances a sign reads,

"DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
TURN ON ANY COMPUTER,
OR PLUG ANY COMPUTER INTO THE NETWORK!!!!!"

Later on, a co-worker comes up and asks me after reading the sign, "i don't understand. What does that sign mean?"
Me: It means you can't turn on any computer.
Co Worker: But i don't understand..."
Me: Well. just don't turn on your computer.
Co Worker: I need to see our IT director.
Me: ...... ok.

LATER ON...

The same co-worker asks me, "Are you a football fan? Did you watch the game on Saturday?"
(of course, there are many games on, but since i am frequently asked questions about the same sport and team, i knew what he was referring to)

Me: I am not a fan of it, but the TV was on, so i saw some of it.

Co Worker: It was the kind of game that could make a sports fan out of anyone.

Me: I highly doubt that it worked for me.

Co Worker: no, it could have.

....

considering the source, i am pretty sure i am still not a fan.
