Hey kiddo!

Why is it that older folks I work with feel the need to call me kiddo? I don't call them Gramps or Granny! As a working professional you would think that I would be respected better then that, but no. We, as the younger generation, are to respect our elders but our elders respecting us? This has been happening for a awhile and at first it didn't bother me but as it went on I thought, I'm and adult and a professional and I don't like being treated inferior among equals. Yes, they have far more experience then me but I treat them with the respect they deserve and have earned through their years of hard work. But, does that mean that because I don't have as much experience that I'm below them and can be treated as such?

Ah, this is just the angry ranting of a person that is in a funk and if you ask me in a few day if this bothers me I'll probably say, "not really."
