Let's see, my wife & I met when she was 31, and I was about to turn 23. We got married when she was 32 and was pregnant shortly after that. She had my daughter at 33. I was 24. Seems like it worked out okay for all of us. I guess I was lucky in that I was able to have most of my "fun" when I was young. I left home and went into the military at 17, so although 23 seems young, I grew up pretty fast.

LOL. One of our managers, good 'ol boy (from Texas, figures!) has been pranking all of the women in the office all morning.
He has a mouse on a string, and he's been calling them all into his office and as soon as they come around the corner he pulls that mouse out across the floor and scares the crap out of them. Every single one of them screams, stomps, and runs away.
I'm just across the isle so I've been watching this go on all morning.

For any of you mechanical/builder/creative/constructive/engineerish types, or really anyone who wants to challenge your creative thinking skills, here's a pretty cool game.
Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game
The point of the game is to get the pink object into the pink square. You are given tools to use (wheels that turn, rods to connect the stuff), but are only allowed to draw stuff in a specific space. As you advance, the levels get harder by making more obstructions between starting point and the goal. Follow along on the tutorial they provide and it starts to make sense.
Some of my friends have come up with very unique ways of solving some of the levels. I find it interesting to see how other people approach the different levels, and how others look at it completely different from how you did.

He sounds like a cool guy to work with. Around here, we have a dead racoon (he's been treated) that is attached to a string. He ends up all over the place, under desks, in cabinets, in tool boxes, in machines...you name it. It's hilarious to watch people jump when he gets pulled out.
I purposefully didn't click on any of the game links any of you posted. I get sucked into those too and thats the last thing I should be doing...
How far did ya get?

Yep, you two would probably get along quite well. He's an awesome guy and a great manager like yourself. Just wish I worked under his department.

sometimes at work its best to " never say all you think you know ", especially around the boss where their reaction may be somewhat crappy for you. Sounds like you have some ok people who understand you have to do what you have to do and some that are great when you are playing the game that they benefit from and not so great when they find out you are in the game for your own benefit first, and mutual benefit as long as it remains that way. I have seen both types, the ones you leave on a need to know basis and the ones who truly want you to do well no matter if you work for them or not. Sometimes being boss means being a hard a$$, but people respect you if you maintain your word and don't flip flop all over ( without good reason, everybody changes their mind sometimes).
V-man (the guy I spoke about that you quoted) is a manager in a different department, but not my boss. V-man is one of the few people in this building that really actually knows what is going on with me and one of the few I know I can trust.
What you said about bosses and respect and flip-flopping all over - that is exactly my problem. The things that rubbed me the wrong way is that 1) he pulled me into his office and basically forced me to give my notice before I was ready to. 2) he lied to my face and told me that I had told him my house was for sale. I don't make mistakes like that. 3) he told me that he would not tell anyone in the office about what is going on until the time comes. Well now I find out that he's been blabbin to various people in the office about my situation. 4) on Friday, when we had our "talk" he told me he understood why I was doing what I was doing. But as of Tuesday when I came back, I was on the **** list.
You never know what type of game is being played. Flavor of the week.
