I feel old
But I don't look it. Therein lies the conundrum. People assume I'm about 10 years younger than I am and don't give me credit for my experience or capabilities. It's a Catch-38.
Why am I saying this? Well, MD Gov. Ehrlich (R) has just announced his running mate. Her name is Kristen Cox, and she's a whopping 36 years old. Two years younger than I am. For lieutenant governor.
But she looks much older than that, at least to me.
Is this the key? Look old(er) = experienced so people will take you seriously? I just want to look my age and be judged on what I can do, not through preconceived notions based on my appearance.
C'mon folks, it's 2006 for crying out loud. Aren't we past this? Sadly, I know we aren't.
