Did you start the job? I did, yeah. I mean, I'm just days away from 70 years old, so I just still felt like I had something to give. And I still do today. It's everything. The way it works is so interesting to me.

I think I was worried about walking in and then thinking, what could this old person possibly have to contribute? You know what I mean?

I just wondered if today's workforce, which certainly in this administration where I'm working, skis younger, which is great, what feelings they harbor about having to carry older workers, you know, on their shoulders?

So, like, while you were talking, you said the word resilience. I immediately jumped on that word because in, like, in group think sort of discussions. It sort of feels like the millennials have these, what they believe are these fresh, new, great ideas that boomers have probably sort of seen in some fashion.

And so if the boomer speaks up against them, that it's like we're afraid to try new things. But the truth is, if you have the right collaboration, what we've learned from maybe doing it and not doing it right the first time, taking their idea first, And our maybe known pitfalls is where the resilience of something good, you know, can come out of it.

It's great. I don't want to be part of if a group of them goes for a happy hour. I don't want to be and don't feel like I need to be part of that. because they kind of gather at my desk in the mornings to kind of set the day off and I get to hear about the evening before anyway. So I like that because I feel like they're wanting to share it with me without me having to, you know, have been there.

So, so far really it's, it's good and I'm more relaxed than I thought I was that, I do want to remain self-aware. I don't want to fall into a trap and be a stumbling block. It's so far. I don't regret it one bit.
