Working offsite

This week, my favorite co-worker and I drove 30 miles away from our usual building to work with one of our vendors for 2 days. Because we already went there once the week before and everything went well, so going there this week was no stress and just completely hassle free. It feels more like meeting a good friend for a school project. The 3 of us just have so much to talk about from school to parents to travel experiences (and this is while we were working - we are all very proficient with the equipment and can really do it with our eyes closed hitting all the necessary key strokes to generate the report according to the certification requirements) that the topic of age inevitably came into the picture. So the impression for our vendor is that we were all not more than 5 years apart. (Ha! Ha ha!!) Upon hearing the truth, our vendor can't help but gaped for maybe some 5 seconds. It was interesting at first and we joked more about it but it felt depressing afterwards - after I got home. And then the stupid question of whether I would trade what I have experienced and gained the past 10 years to start afresh and be younger again came to mind. The answer was an immediate "No!" but then I wonder if it is because it has been a tiring 10 years or was it because all was well?

This restaurant we went to for lunch is not bad:
Pasta's Trattoria
