I have started my new job. It is all right so far. I am very pleased to have an office with a window. There are friendly people to talk to.
People ask me friendly questions to get to know me. The typical gambit goes something like this, "So, have you just started work? A student? Just left university?"
I reply, "Er, no. I look a lot younger than I am. I have been working in archives for ten years."
Then they think I might be offended and apologise. Since I am nearer 40 than 30, I am not offended at all, but very flattered.
