Getting on in your career when you’re getting on in your years
WHICH birthday makes you think you are “getting on”? Or is it an event such as being passed over for a promotion?
Maybe a child becomes an adult, or your first grandchild appears. Perhaps an illness takes a bit more toll than any sickness has done before.
