Over 40 ?

This guy posted on the forum for Coolworks.com that maybe some employees were unhappy cause they were just sitting in their rooms, moping, not making friends, or they were over 40.

I beg your pardon.
What does being over 40 have to do with happiness, unhappiness or sitting in your room?

Anyways, I got out a lot while working in the Grand Tetons. It was the height of the experience.
That and working in the bake shop with all these kids.
Now, don't get me wrong, they were between the ages of 20 and 30, but they seemed to think their culinary schooling, upwards of $30,000 , yes thats right, thirty thousand dollars for a cordon blue certificate, gained them seniority, respect or deference.

Sorry, but let me see what you can do away from the classroom. Don't be spouting all your stuff and burning bread. Don't be theorizing on frosting then use dam shortening instead of real butter.

Kids are kids, and maybe some just don't have to grow up too soon. Then the chef, who is 22 and barely out of college made the big mistake of letting the others know how old he was. Now, he's getting no respect, and personally, when he said I was in charge of the rice crispy treats cause his mom always made them and he didn't have a recipe, I started to wonder as well.
He could make some mighty fine sugar concoctions, however.

At any rate, I'm home now, outta there, cause this ol' gal don't like dormitory living where the housing manager comes busting in looking for spare beds.

That's my rant, sorry for being so long.
