This Is The Age Of Reflections

It struck me today how many different people address me as "sir". I just realized that I have not been knighted by the Queen Mum and I don't look like Paul McCartney (thank God...that dude looks dead!!) Elton John (again, thankfully) or Nick Faldo...all legitimate Sirs.

No, I mean people at work (superiors and subordinates) and just in general. I certainly don't act like anyone should call me "sir"

The question I am asking myself is how many times in a day can I be called "sir" without actually feeling old?

(For you ladies I suppose the question would be equal for "ma'am")

And does it make me old to ponder such a thing so deeply as to take up valuable posting space with it?

How do you feel about this??
