So I started a topic in the Geezers group about how I used to lie about my age, and it turns out that I am in the super minority unpopular opinion group that seems to exist of me and . . . well, me. Wow, who knew? I guess everyone except me. 
Im slowly but surely getting over the feeling that everyone over there views me as immature and untrustworthy. But now Im kind of self-conscious about what I write here, because Im a geek that way. Umm, lets see, whats new. The most recent grant I submitted to NIH was reviewed yesterday, but its score hasnt been posted yet so I dont know if Ill get the $$ or not. Getting $$ out of NIH is like getting blood from a stone I swear to god. I had a minor career crisis last year and interviewed for a job there, might as well work where the money is. But then I realized Id really be happier in the job I already have, so here I am begging them for money again. Writing grants is my least favorite part of my job, but I really enjoy everything else I do, which not everyone can say. Im definitely lucky that way.
Thank god NIH didnt ask me about my views on lying about your age!

You should take it as a compliment so many people responded, their options are just that options. My option is just that as well and my generalization does not reflect my option of you.
