Two prompts today, to get us back on track.
What is one recent sign that you're really and truly an adult?
This morning, I woke up an hour early so I could meet with a money manager before work.* If you're wondering why this is a huge sign of adulthood, you've never seen the interactions I have with my alarm clock on a weekday morning. On a good day, I snooze twice. On a bad day, I can convince myself I don't need to: shower, eat, blowdry, iron, put makeup on, or all of the above. Today, I voluntarily attended an 8 AM coffee meeting to discuss my retirement savings and I didn't even look homeless when I arrived. Go adult me!
What is one recent sign you're not so grown up, after all?
Where to start? Well, I stayed up past 5 AM on Saturday night chatting, which led pretty naturally to a 12:30 PM wakeup yesterday. I then went to a grocery store with a Redbox machine, and ended up leaving with two awful movies, a pizza, and a bag of "XTRA CHEDDAR!" Flavor-Blasted Goldfish. Last and perhaps most tellingly, my pet name from the new guy is "Booger." I'm not exactly a bastion of adulthood, but then again, I don't have to be.
Tangent:
*The kind of person I actually want managing my tiny savings, not some rando who stalker calls me on a "recommendation from a friend." Doesn't it seem like everyone who calls on a referral then references the friend you would consult dead last on anything involving your savings or responsibility? Seriously people, if you're going to ask me to turn over my hard-earned dollars to you, try not to have our common bond be a guy I know as "Naked Pete."

THERE IS NO SUCH THING IS AS TOO OLD FOR GOLDFISH.
I will not live in such a world. But then again I had animal crackers with pudding for lunch and pretended they were dunkaroos. In the law school library. So maybe I'm not the best gauge.
