Today I met a vendor for law software.

I attended a paralegal conference, aimed at informing them about software available for that field. Judging by the audience and other presenters, I was probably one of the younger people there. I took a seat at our partner vendor.

Next to his seat was another software representative. The way he talked to me was a little weird, maybe I look younger than I am. Sometimes that has happened.

"Are you excited [to present]?"
"I don't know if excited is the right word."

The presentation was received warmly, so I took a seat back at the table while my partner took the stage.

"Wow, you did such a good job up there. You know, I use a Mac, but I really love..."

He continued to drone on. I didn't really pay attention because I don't like feeling like someone is talking to me like I'm a kid. Maybe he thought I was young, and I mean, I do look young sometimes... But geez. I'm an adult female, so come on!
