I was going to crack a joke today about the (fairly recent) Harmonic Convergence. When I say "fairly recent", of course I mean "around the turn of the century".

Then I looked it up and found out that it actually happened in 1987 - before most of the 20-something crowd in the forum I was following were even born.

Then I started feeling really, really old.

If there is one thing I really appreciate about our current guild in WoW it's that they don't make me feel old, since many of them are my age or even older.

Here are a couple of rocks. They don't look like much, but they are technically Petroforms. They were laid here a couple of thousand years ago by human hands for some purpose. Do they convey some deeper, hidden meaning, or were they put here by somebody on his way to build a bigger petroform and forgotten while he was resting?

Petroform

I'm not quite as old as these rocks, but I'm getting up there.

We spent a fair bit of time wandering through the petroforms, and I have a few pretty good pictures that I'm going to post here later when I have more time. It was sunny and hot (about 33 degrees in the shade). Neither [livejournal.com profile] atara nor I thought to pack or apply any sunscreen before we went up there, so ya - we got roasted pretty good.

I didn't even take a hat.

The new seniority list came out today and - though it no longer affects me - I have moved to the upper portion of the list.  That's not entirely unexpected, given that I have been working here for almost 20 years.

What a depressing landmark that is.

[Edit: When I say it's depressing, it's because this is not what I had envisioned for myself 20 years ago. I'm not doing badly, per se, but I have never felt that I lived up to my potential.]
