The Big 4-0

Later this year (November 17th to be exact) I'll be turning the big 4-0!

I've been thinking about it quite a bit lately. Well, since I turned 39 two months ago.

I was discussing it with a coworker who turns 30 this year. She's all freaked out about turning 30 and wants to live it up this year. She thinks I should do the same and do everything she does. Trust me, that ain't gonna happen. She's a tad on the wild side and has already done at least one thing I want no part of. Who know what else she's up to. I am considering that tattoo though ;)

Anyway, 30 didn't really bother me. It was no big deal. But 40? That's a different story. That just sounds older. I don't feel like I should be 40 already! There are things I haven't done yet and not sure if I ever will.

I'm starting to have thoughts like "Where has the time gone?" "What have I accomplished?" "Now what?" "Is this it?" I'm starting to wonder if I should have done things differently, made different choices.

I guess when I was younger I thought I would have had it figured out by now. Knew what I wanted to do with my life, had that "dream" job. But I don't. It can get kind of depressing.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this post. Guess I just wanted to get it out. Any thoughts? Advice?

Can I see your ID?

I work in a store that sells both beer and cigarettes. Since there is an age requirement we need to check IDs. Everybody is familiar with being carded I'm sure. Or at least you'd think so.

Our policy is to ask for ID if the person looks to be 30 or under as a precaution for people who look older than they are. I am such a bad judge of age sometimes though! I once carded a 45 year old woman for beer. Man was she ecstatic!

So if you're going out to get smokes or some brew-skis, bring your ID!! Pretty simple. Especially if you are in the 18-30 range.

Because, I'm sorry but "I'm 22, I swear!" Just doesn't cut for me! lol
Not worth the fine, losing my liquor license and possibly losing my job because you forgot your ID.
