It's happening more and more often. People are always telling me "Oh, that's the old way of doing it...".

Don't get me wrong, I love old fashioned things... but it's kinda getting embarrassing being told that most of my ideas and ways are old fashioned. Today a recruitment agent told me the way i planned to do my resume was out of date... and to do it another way... fair enough... what ever gets the job. I also do seemingly old fashioned things like putting two character spaces after full stops when i type text. I have learnt to left justify everything though... i no longer sign my name on the right LOL (um, maybe no one here EVER did that LOL) Remember when you were taught to write your home address on the top right of a letter??? no???

ok... so this is a thread for those (anyone) having to adjust to newer, better, upgraded ways of doing things. Is there anything else i might get caught out by, mainly in the workplace? Do people still call senior staff by surnames? eg Mr Jones? I once worked in a kitchen (Parliamnet house) where if you called the chefs by their names they cracked it... it had to be "chef". In my last job most of the teachers still preferred to be called "Mrs Surname" infront of the students... i guess it comes down to how they introduce themselves? DH works in a very conservative industry in which he calls most of his older clients by their surnames. Maybe this has sheltered me from the real world??? Is it just Australia that things are so casual now?

Do you think there will come a point in your life that you will be too set in your ways to change? I never thought i would... i always thoughts I would adapt and keep upgrading my ideas and ways.... now i'm not so sure... it's quite confronting. I don't care what the world does... i will NOT wear thongs to a job interview unless it's for the job as thong saleperson!!!
