Kiddo????

Yesterday I went in to the locksmith to have a meeting with our rep about rekeying the building and as per our earlier phone conversations he refers to me not by my name but by "kiddo" as in, how about this kiddo? thanks for calling kiddo, talk to you later kiddo. Now, don't get me wrong this is not something new for me, I have a baby face and a youthful personality to the kiddo thing, not that new but for some reason ESPECIALLY annoying to me this week.

So yesterday I headed back to new building to meet back up with one of my co workers who had come down with me and the contractor who I LOVE and when I got there I made a comment to my co worker about how in my next life I'll be hopeful to not rock the baby face to which he asked what had happened. I told him that this locksmith called me kiddo at least 5 times in the 15 minute conversation we had had to which our contractor chimed in with the ever popular "when you're in your 30's you be glad for those comments." (again, heard that one a bunch of times too)

I and my co worker doubled over in laughter as James the contractor looked at us puzzled. I just stopped and said to him "I'm WELL into my 30's"

you wouldn't believe the shocked look he gave me, the guy thought I was 24. 24!!!!!! I'm 32. almost 33.

Story of my life.

Can you moron folks stop calling me Sweetie, Honey and Kiddo? I work too hard to not be respected.

There I feel better.
