#80s #GenX #Nostalgia #TouchGrass

In our postmodern algorithmic age, #USPol goes like this:

The flip-side to the banal, brazen evil of the Far Right is the usefully idiotic, pandering, self-congratulating performative fecklessness of The Far Left.

Both are promoted by the algorithms as they (both) tear down the very institutions that the vast majority (in the middle) *need* to work in a functioning Democracy.

I constantly have to remind the staff that I am a GenX'er, and if there's an emergency, the best way to get ahold of me is by phone. Not by text. An actual phone call, with your voice. I am not paying attention to every beep and noise my phone makes, but when it rings, I'll have a look at it. Thankfully, my Millennial boss was able to handle the 'emergency'.

Phases of my life

Things that are too quiet and I'm not sure where they are, and probably getting into trouble.

10 years ago, the kids
4 years ago, the cat
today, the robot vacuum

#parenting #genx

Here is my lazy Sunday question for you.

I remain surprised at the number of instructors (and other professionals) I meet that never held a job outside their field. Maybe I shouldn't be.

Did you have a job that wasn't in your field? Summer, temp, whatever. Just working exposure to a different world than your professional one?
