New girl has a four month old son, the father is an ex. Oh dear. At this point, my opinion is sinking quickly, she's damn young to have a kid and such a mess. Turns out to be a smoker too, and well, I'm judgmental.
Then comes the employment history. Medical field, which I always find weird that medical people smoke. I know, stress and all, but you know better than anyone what it does. Manager at a small retail store, so this is clearly a downstep. I'm getting really puzzled.
"How old are you?"
She looks at me funny, and says "Guess." The tone makes me think she is older than I believe she is, and that she asks means she figures I'm guessing a little low. I update my guess to maybe 24 or 25, in my head, but I say my original guess, 21. Before she answers, I insist the other coworker give her guess, and she concurs, 21-22.
Well, new girl is pretty happy, and thanks us both. She's 29. We're shocked. Does not look it, at all. So hell, we probably just made her night.
