And Young. Really Really Young.
Everyone I work with, everyone I interact with, is firmly entrenched in their career path. No one's under 30 but nearly all of them are under 50. This puts me into a different generational frame of reference. “Have you seen Battlestar Galactica” - “Oh, sure. The episode from last week wasn’t very good though”- “Last week?…what the hell are you talking about?”
But the guys in boots are younger than the girls in the other browser window. They’d only just be older than jailbait back home but here they’re heavily armed, heavily armored, and completely in charge. Of course this doesn’t make conversation any easier. “Remember He-man?”- “The weird anime show? Not really, it was only on for one season.” - “Anime? One season?…what the hell are you talking about?”
Of course both groups can talk about their kids… Clearly Sex Ed in the 70’s was as abominable as it is now.
