I might change my tune soon, but, I'm kind of looking forward to turning 30. People give you more credit because you've "been through stuff". Kind of like getting out of a gang alive. People are in awe of 30 somethings because they've usually gone through career fouls, divorce, and childbirth. Then you get to kind of shrug and be like, "This ain't my first time at the rodeo, boys" a la Joan Crawford--and you won't be fudging. And you're totally right about the perfectionist thing.~Sara
