when youth can be a bad thing.
Last week on my way to the faculty cafeteria, I got stopped by the librarian: "Sorry, you can't pass through here, library's closed today." A bit confused, I saw that there was some sort of librarian gathering with doughnuts, bagels, coffee, and the like. However, two of my colleagues walked right by the same librarian. It then occurred to me- Even though I was wearing my normal business causal collared shirt and khakis, I was wearing my staff badge on my belt, so she probably didn't see it. She later apologized and told me that she thought I was a student- a story that I'll probably reminisce and laugh on 20 years from now. HAH, I'm still laughing.
Even better was when I was running late to one of my classes and had engaged 2 of my students in a conversation- making sure they had their assignments in their notebooks and reminding about what was coming up in class. Just before we parted company, I heard a stern voice behind them: "Hey kids, get to class." The two students stepped to the side and the hall monitor, an older, balding man, paused and said, "Oh, sorry sir."
SIR. HAH. HE CALLED ME SIR. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
oh yeah. homecoming at u of i was fun. remind me what happened.

Welcome to my life. I'll probably be mistaken for a high schooler till my hair goes gray. Yeah, I suppose we'll appreciate it when we're older, blah blah. :)
hey man, at least you're not going bald yet, heheh..
[beat u to the punchline again gary, SUCKA]
maybe you should look more like a teacher. you know, gray out some of your hair, get thick rimmed glasses, maybe get a power stauche, wear short sleeved baby blue collared shirts with a brown tie with khakis and penny loafers and gain 20lbs in a beer gut.
