How Gen Y Should Talk To Old People At Work
jfruh writes "A lot of ink has been spilled explaining to Boomers and Gen Xers how they can best manage, motivate, and retain talented members of the Millenial generation on the job. But it's a two-way street, and those born in the '80s and later could also use a lesson on how to best communicate with older co-workers, who after all will determine their promotion and pay raises for the foreseeable future. Advice includes: make actual phone calls, mirror the level of formality your co-workers use in e-mails, and for Pete's sake don't ask them things like 'R U going?' in a non-texting medium."

Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool.
My parents were married at 18. I was born 7 months after the marriage.
bloody irresponsable I call it.
My relatives always said that the second and later kids take 9 months, but the first one can pop out any old time. :)
What about Gogglers?
What about them, indeed. Prancing down the streets of Neo-Londinium in their altitude scarves and and flying tweeds as if they had just stepped out of the furnace-room of Her Majesty's Airship Ultra-Titania. Always clacking on their pocket telestenographs and with a steam automaton snorting behind as like as not, fouling the pavement with coal smoke and terrifying the horses.
Youth of today have no respect.
