I’m installing some know-to-be-defective equipment, so that the work order it’s on can be completed, which will trigger a work order for me to drive out into the middle of nowhere, Make a note that they never worked in the first place, which will trigger a work order for me to again drive out and replace the devices I didn’t install in the first place because they never worked. But I have to install these 24 volt lumps of failure in order to not have to install them at all. Make sense? It better not. If it does I can get you a great deal on chocolate covered cotton. I can’t name the Multinational soulless con glomerate that keeps hiring me, but it’s a MAJOR one.

Yes, with Jack Nicholson and Candice Bergen. Garfunkel was Bergen’s husband.

I haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve read the book - great book, not a great way to make a living though...

Get paid just to show up, I just have philosop hical objections to general pointlessness. getting paid 4 times to not do something eases the pain though.

Before my time, and probably not that dirty. 9 1/2 weeks was our benchmark and it’s probably pretty tame these days.

Honestly, it was before my time too as I’m GenX not a Boomer. I saw it at some point and just remember thinking that every main character was unlikable and I’ve had zero desire to watch it again.

I think I’m an x.5,   undefined late 70's generation.

I was born in 65 so that makes me the oldest of the Xers.

1978, I remember rotary phones, and when the phone had it’s own table.

We were too young to be xers at the time but that’s where we were lumped in.

turns out I’m an “Oregon Trail”

I know the pain the catch-22s I see at work are not this bad. I just facepalm and cry and think no wonder healthcare is so expensive and remember I am in $5k of medical debt.

I played Oregon Trail too and we had a rotory phone because it was free from someone. I'm actually a millenial. The biggest generation defining moment for me was the recession of 2008-2011.

I think the fact that I first voted and saw the internet around the same time puts me with the “ olds” .  We  were teenagers during the 90s and I think more defined by exclusion from the gen x  and millenial generations.  Kind of “Defined as the gray area” or floating generation, because we can fake it at both ends.  I didn’t get a phone myself until maybe 5 year s ago, but my dad’s uniden “car phone” mounted in the trunk and had a battery the size of a VHS tape, which I also remember, as I remember most things before the late 90s.

I hope that doesn’t mean you died of dysentery.

I didn’t.  I Did notice the “died of dysentery” T shirt entering the zeitgeist,  and thinking to myself that a very narrow age range would get that joke.

on that subject, I once saw a t-shirt featuring the “other” dukes of hazzard.  Do you think that was ironic or just a mistake?
