I read the Atlantic article earlier today. I thought most of it was yeah, pretty familiar. But I did appreciate the point about generational differences. The Mad Men Gen, the "we can do it all", and today's more "no, you can" generation.

I had heard Hillary Clinton is a great boss and it was nice to see that confirmed.

People talk about Goals, like, be Vice President of Real Estate for [Name] Hospital before I turn 45, or, Earn Enough To Send My Eight Kids To Dartmouth

I know some serious goddamn overachievers.

And a bunch of just-getting-by-ers!

My goal is to work about as hard as I do right now, but for more money doing more interesting stuff.

For my kids, I hope they grow up to be better happier people than me. Not that I'm miserable and awful, but I want them to beat me at life.

I got seized today with an attack of Holy-Shit-I'm-Turning-41*-What-Have-I-Done-With-My-Life-Oh-That's-Right-NOTHING-I'm-Not-Even-Climbing-The-Corporate-Ladder-I-Have-No-Goals-At-All-Holy-Shit.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! Have a lovely evening, Lovely People!

That - THAT's my goal! (Thanks for articulating, Jess!)

So here's the thing, ita ! When I run the report, there are only results for May.

Oh, for the love of god, how can we possibly be having this conversation? It took me at least an extra five minutes to leave the office because he kept nodding and not understanding that there are no records. in the world. of this database. for June. Period. At all. It is a bug. That he gave a status on fixing two hours ago.

I can't. talk any slower or make better hand gestures.

Something the carwash guy did means that the light for park is on even when my key isn't in the ignition. I will not have a battery tomorrow if I don't work this out, will I?
