It's a bit different to be older in the workplace and taking similar direction from a superior who is a bit younger-- the age lines blur as you get older, but the young adult years are still a little too close for comfort.

I think you have to learn to separate that. Yeah, maybe I'm 24 and Patti's 19 and she's telling me my rush outfit isn't right, but I'm not going to let that come between a friendship (or a beer run). She's doing her job, not getting on me personally. If you get all hung up on little things like that it doesn't really matter who is what age.
For the (ahem) older posters...was this stuff as big of a deal when the drinking age was 18?
