actually this is a pretty sweet deal for our generation. when we graduated, the people our age were like, oh, ####, here comes the future and they're coming for our jobs. and they're all college educated and grew up with computers. next thing you know there are 52 year olds bagging groceries and handing out a free copy of their resume with every purchase, hoping to get back into that cushy travel agency or stock broker gig they had been working at for the last 30 years. and nobody felt that guilty because the baby boomers had been stealing from our future for decades, enjoying ridiculously low housing prices and robbing their own social security savings blind then coming back to us with their hats in their hands crying lockbox.
and here we are just a decade or so away from getting equally ####ed, but instead of taking out jobs, these #### for brains twelveteen year olds are entering the workforce can't fathom why instagramming their ballsac over a glowing red stove burner doesn't make them attractive to future employers.
we had a herd of new hires in the office today and they all got on the elevator at once, on the second floor, deciding what kind of lunch they should all get because the world would end if the social experience they call work didn't extend into the lunch hour, and when the elevator doors opened on 1, the kid with the 80 dollar haircut and the 70 dollar suit said, whoa, that was only one floor, and the other kids all expressed similar and unsarcastic surprise that walking by a sign that said 2 as you entered the elevator and seeing the sign marked 1 when it opens really does mean they only went one floor down. these are the guys competing for my job some day, and I couldn't be happier that they are, by and large, horribly unprepared for the world.
