Observations from 50,000 feet:
I'm glad to see that Regis and His Millions are likely to get the plug pulled. Freeing up Google so my images.google.com searces work, um, faster.
"eagle" is #3 most searched image after the attack. I wonder how many people then found out that they wanted a bald eagle.
I want to know how many people queried "Where is Chandra Levy?". The Internet Knows All.
Proof that address bars are not the navigation of choice: Top 9/11 Query: "CNN". Google Knows All.
Powerball. Google searchers do not find magic numbers before drawing. Google Does Not Know All.
Proof Brick and Mortar=Peace of Mind on the Web: Amazon not in top searches for retailers. Or maybe someone discovered address bar.
Whoah, Nicole Kidman is free!
No one searched for X10! However will I find such a product?
Most Importantly, All Your Base...
You're looking for a job, good plan. You have no legal recourse, and even if you did the benefit is negligible. How may jobs have you had lately? While it's common to change jobs at lot at your age its a little troubling considering your experience. Some of the advice others have suggested in the vein of good employee performance (working solid hours, dressing well, composure, contributing to goals outside your realm of expertise) should be throughtfully considered. Confrontation is unneccessary unless your job role does change or your work environment becomes too uncomfortable. Simply speaking with the IT Director and stating you feel slightly persecuted because of your youth and asking for suggestions to help change these perceptions might be wise. Blaming won't help, but asking for advice and appearing friendly towards him (like he does to you) will let him think you aren't on to him (if the claims are true) and respect his authority and opinion (which you should anyways even if he is a blazing idiot, the boss is the boss not just because he is the boss's offspring : ) ).
Look into companies that are rated as great places to work. Fortune Magazine rates 100 of these every year and as an undergrad a while back those are the companies I found the most accepting of my youth (and quite youthful appearance). Don't be stupid, you have a family and life is running in fast-forward for you but unless you are a centurion you still have a lot to learn and naivete is your greatest poison.
