43 going on 17. Currently in the middle of second adolescence.
Part time Business Development Manager for construction firm. Sounds posh, in practice means I do at the last minute all the things my boss didn't get round to doing while there was a reasonable amount of time to do it, which then fall into my lap to be completed in the last 3 days before the deadline.
And as for middle age? Personally I don't think it has anything to do with physical age - some people were born middle aged, their beige cardigans and elasticated crimplene slacks popping out of the womb with them. Just look at William Hague.
I'll be middle aged when I stop liking rock music and going to the pub.

I'm 25 and an IT Project Co-ordinator.
How do you work out your age as a decimal? I'm 26 in a month so does that make me 25.11? I really can't do maths

well, there's 365 days in a year...no wait, 366 cos 2004 was a leap year.
11 days to your birthday? That's 366-11=355
355 divided by 365 = 0.9726027
I thangu.

Yesh...let's do that again, shall we?
How many days till your birthday?
I'll assume 30, since you said a month.
So it's been 366-30= 336 days since your last birthday.
So you are 26 and 336/366 years old.
And *that* fraction is 0.9180327
Clear as mud now?
