Re: Skirting the dreaded...



A couple of our professors have mistook me for one of the student workers. I
didn't know whether to double check my wardrobe to make sure I look
professional, be insulted for not being taken seriously, or flattered
because I look young. I am 31, by the way! :)

I've actually gotten to like the 80-something patrons who refer to me as
