Yesterday I had to attend an ALL day meeting for this new job of mine. There were about 70 people who attended, everyone from different departments of the resort. I kid you not, there were maybe 5 people over the age of 30 in the room...I bet the average age was 20. Really.
So anyway, I tried to fit in as best I could...perhaps people will think I'm in my late 20's??? We were all filling out the massive amount of paperwork for the job. But after I filled out a bunch of it, I realized I might have done it wrong. You see, I still have my maiden name on my social security card...but I go by my married name. Should I scribble it out? Should I hyphenate? Should I just put my maiden name?? The lady from HR comes over to help me...but instead of quick answer she immediately thinks I'm a newlywed who hasn't changed my social yet. "Awww, how long have you been married?!"
I mumble...."Um....14 years."
I see all four people at my table look up from their paperwork.
Busted...my cover was blown.
So much for being a 20 something.
I should have lied.
