Connecticut.

Yes but we need to be more specific. Town and then what specific place?

NAILED IT!

Yup!

I can relate to the latch key kid and this one for sure!

Really?

I mean the day after I quit I interviewed with her boss. Then we had a 3-hour mock workshop & interview the next week. Following Monday I met the CIO and by Friday had an offer letter.

Were you expecting hookers & blow?

Yadda yadda was a Seinfeld reference. Thought were we on the same page. So it goes.

I always laugh because I'm probably one of the last Boomers (born 12/30/1964). I obviously identify much more with Gen X.

IDK why I feel like this nails @Norm (and many of us)

Lots of good stuff in there. Some of if very specific to many of us. But also I think a lot of that goes to any generation.

I do think that we have this very specific perspective as having grown up fully WITHOUT and then WITH technology we have today is very interesting. I mean, I owned 8-tracks. Now I can blink 4 times and Taylor Swift is in my kitchen. Kinda wild.

steve sent me one from that same guy for Xennials which is the micro generation of Gen X - Millennials which felt really on point with me... still Gen X but it kinda explains why I feel like some of the older Gen X almost feel like Boomers to me but I feel like a Boomer to Millennials.

Yes, I agree. I am '77 and feeling like Gen X is my brother ('71), who I don't really relate to at all. At some point there was Gen Y, which was I think what they call Xennials now, why do we have to work 9-5, why do we have to come to the office...and I can relate to that as well.

Was wondering about the non-compete with your client organizations from previous consulting - but i'm not keeping track, sooo....

I did miss on the Boomer reference to Take This Job and Shove It. Although not subject matter correct.

congrats, and good luck.

Vermont, take 4

We're going to Vermont today. We will ski Vermont tomorrow, and the next day. This will be our 4th trip of the year. Very good chance this is it for the ski season on the east coast. But you never know.

We originally planned to leave this morning and ski Stratton on the way up. But my boss wanted me to start ASAP so we scrapped it. Unfortunately, this means we'll be driving up in the snow which will make this drive 5-6 hours more than likely. And I guess we may be driving in snow on the way home.

While it's obviously too early to say much about the job, my boss wanted to meet at 8 or 8:30 this morning instead of the afternoon, because he thinks Friday afternoons are good for naps. I can get behind that.

Anyway, have a good weekend.
