I'm a grown-up

I interviewed a man whose work history dated further back than my lifespan today. Suffice to say, it was awkward. He laughed at all my jokes and we discussed the nuances of training and adult learning in theories across cultures--specifically Asian vs. American. I think it may have been more awkward for him than me, but there is no way of telling. I couldn't get past his Parkinsons' resembling tremors and the extreme slow and redundant manner of speech.
