I sat down with a few younger employees the other day during a coffee break and they had asked me how old I was, and followed by asking if I was married. I laughed and said ‘no way!’. This was possibly too strong of a reaction because as I looked around the room with at these 23, 24, 25 year-old KIDS and I was getting confused looks on their faces.

‘why do you say ‘no way’?’


Ah shit. so i asked ‘married? yes. And you married? yes…and let me guess, you’re married too? yes. ‘
A discussion later with someone who was not married explained the long history of Russians being married around the age of 22. I’ll have to tone down my reactions from now on.
