How old are you?
-
Hi there,
since I am on this forum I established mail conversation with several other members. One common question is how old someone is.
At least one (Hi Ron) I know is older than me. The rest seems to be younger.
Now I read that Andy Warren is considering to have kids, Antares has a baby kid ?!? at home.
So I really wonder, how old are you guys ????
I am 35, or like some other clown from our IT staff mentioned
SELECT CAST(0x00000023 as integer)
Well, and unless Dale you states voluntarily otherwise, you are 29 by definition!
Cheers,
Frank

Older than dirt - 47. Just married so we will have children in the future. Wife is much better looking than I am.

29, married, a 9 year-old, and a newborn (was half way home and look what I did). Poor fact is this is my second marriage but the only one that has gotten me to do anything with my life (look where I am at now).

Why does this make me feel that old ????Before I heard of your baby, I expected you to be, well let's say, older than me. This is one of the big suprises! Curious what's coming next.
I met my wife on a party of a friend of mine, ask three weeks later if she would marry me, six months later we were married. That was in 1995.
Sure thing, the best that could happen to me!
My first born is 4 years old, second one 2.5 months. But situation is beginning to normalize again

Sorry not trying to make anyone feel old.
First marriage I knew her for 10+ years, dated for 2+ and was married 9 months.
My current wife and I met at an office Christmas party (already seperated waiting for release papers) started dating the day I got my divorce papers (on my birthday I might add), moved in in March, propsed in November and married next day (she didn't want to seperate the rings cause they looked great together). Adopted her son less than a year later. And boom now we have a new one. Will be married 7 years strong this year.

Well I haven't hit 50 yet, good grief just a few months away though.
Scary to look at this thread, I've been in this business longer than some are old.
Un heard of 35 years ago, I started working as a junior operator for the school district in high school, before I had my license.
I've seen things since almost the beginning, it has been quite a change. Un like some I've worked with I've moved with the industry, was big in Mainframes 15 years ago, now mostly Windows and SQL Server.
My favorite example is about 25 years ago we added 1/2 a meg to our MF, 40 grand and a small refigerator sized box. My pager has 4 meg, my Pocket PC phone has almost 300 meg. Or even just over 10 years ago we found out the MF we were on had been upped to a gig of memory, was one of the biggest in the US at the time.
So when I refer to RAM or DASD, give the old guy some slack.

35, about to add to that. Married with 3 kids (11,4,2) and enjoying life as much as I can. (http://www.dkranch.net/about/default.asp#members)
Of course, if I don't get something done quickly, it's probably because the little ones didn't let me.

The secretary at one of my companies (about three companies ago) was exactly 24 years younger than me. I had been in the Air Force and graduated college before she was born. After that nothing makes me feel old.

Dear Frank,
Us women never tell their age but I will say that I am more than four years older than you and less than six years older than you.
I am happily married with no kids other than two dogs and a bird because I'm not able, and believe me, that's just fine with us! All the best,
Dale

I'm coming up on my 44th birthday. I married late in life and will celebrate my 5th anniversary in November. I have two wonderful daughters (20 and 15). Legally they are my step-daughters, but in my heart they are just my daughters. I retired from the U.S. Air Force after 20 years of service (Sep 2000).
When I was preparing to retire (3 years before it happened), I was asking computer people what I should get into to make myself more 'hireable'. I kept hearing 'become an Oracle programmer'. So I took classes for that. My current company took a chance on me as they were having a vendor create an Oracle database. My knowledge and documenting skills enabled me to prove (legally) that the vendor not only wasn't doing their job, but that they couldn't. Basically they were using us to develop their product. I ended up saving my company over US$500,000. Then my company decided to go to SQL Server instead. I saw the writing on the wall and knew it was 'learn something new or find a new job'.
Now I'm the SQL Server DBA and really enjoying it.
