That would suck as an adult. Apparently, it can be pretty serious in an adult versus if you've had them as child.

I've also read something before about how the chicken pox virus is related to the shingles virus that people can develop later in life. It's something related to not having chicken pox as a child, but the virus is dormant in the system and then it unleashes in some people when they hit their senior years. I can't remember exactly though.
