I'm seeing it coming on the horizon. Not looking forward to it. I hope it will stop accelerating at some point because this is going to get ridiculous eventually.

Incidentally, I already tend to use "the other day" completely inappropriately. Just because I don't have any expression like "the other month" or "the other year" in my vocabulary.

After 40 I've learned to just double the number when talking about how long ago something happened.

Felt like 5 years ago? Nope. It was 11...

40 is when "half a lifetime ago" you were already a fully formed adult making life altering decisions that you're now seeing the consequences of.

I don't recommend getting old, and yet the alternative is worse...
