Stuff like a career and even hobby time does start to matter more as I get older. Admittedly, when I was younger, I really didn’t GAF. I’d stay up late, sleep in, whatever. Don’t do it anymore though. Not sure if it’s because I developed a work ethic or if I just hate running my ass off to be 10 minutes late. Whether it’s making a flight for work, or trying to beat daylight up a tree stand. Last edited by Potsy; 07/27/23.

This world has had people missing plans, late for work, lose track of time as long as this world has been around. They just came up a name and excuse for it. "They underestimate how much time something will take and overestimate how quickly they can accomplish a task," Morin said. JFC, I've been married for over 40 years. Every time we're getting ready to go somewhere, running late as usual, and I hear "Just a few more minutes! All I have to do is brush my teeth..." I know I have time to mow the yard, clean the gutters, and deadhead the irises. It ain't just the gen-xers. It might happen to be gender-specific.

Fuuka,s are glued to social media like bugged eyed aliens with big thumbs is what the basic problem is. Add in being enabled and undeserved praise their entire lives. They excell at being mediocre at best and barely at that... Not all of them. But a huge % of young people are fuuuk ups to the max.. The Movie Idiocracy is happening before our eyes on a daily basis. Has been for decades... Last edited by renegade50; 07/27/23.

About half the crew opened and the other half came in at 0900. One female was always rolling in at 0810-0815. Always citing child care issues. They changed her to the 0900 crew. She always showed up at 0910-0915 citing child care issues. It’s not a new phenomenon. Last edited by mart; 07/27/23. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
