On The End of the 00s: How To Lose Your Idealism In Under Ten Years, by Natasha Vargas-Cooper
When I was younger, like you Natasha, I thought why were these fossils still around . . . and they were my parents. As I got older and ran into my dad, I realized why they were still around because my dad would always slip me $50 cash, take me out for a much needed hot meal and I could raid his apartment when he was out of town for food and some paper towels.
However, when I had to get a job, I had no car and was forced to take public transportation. I had to take a north-south bus and connect to an east-west bus in order to get to work.
It never failed. The north-south bus would pull up and I would ALWAYS miss the east-west bus. Eight out of 10 times, this would go on, no matter what I did.
Then one day as the north-south bus pulled up, I flew across the street at the risk of being run over because I could see the east-west bus. But I queried why the east-west bus hadn't pulled away leaving me screaming and cursing out loud at every bus driver in the universe.
As I ran to catch that east-west bus, I rounded the corner, but the bus was still there, why? As I rounded the corner, there was a little old lady with a walker, no less. She was attempting to get on the bus, but the bus driver was having problems with the lift, it was stuck and refused to be lowered. He did managed to get it lowered but by then, I was in a nice long line waiting to get to work on time. And this woman was definitely born in the 20s, she was ancient! LOL!
So for the Boomers whom you find annoying, just remember that every so often, one of them if not a few, will block your access to the sun for a short time, but when they've finished, they'll have done all the waiting for you & the kinks will have been worked out much like that poor woman who had to wait in the cold while the driver struggled with the buttons.
Oh and yeah, the Boomers will have also blocked your access to that bird who dropped all that sh!t on your designer haute couture!!! ROTFLOL!!

Did you say you know work for yourself? Aren't you about to dip your toe into some of that political/union stuff if you decide you need to hire someone who totally disagrees with you? You fire them, they sue and so it begins.
Boomers are responsible for that, everyone is. I heard of one person who quit because they didn't believe in seniority on the job. The person had been there years and years and years & it was just their turn as far as seniority. If you're on the job that long, that's what happens. This person wanted to buck the system, eliminate seniority because they had a good idea that no one wanted to listen to.
And when they did find someone who would listen, they said it had to be cleared by the person with seniority. That behind said, the person got pissed off & quit. I'm sure the next job, they found some other annoying rule they couldn't stand and eventually quit and created their own business and their own rules.
It's not a perfect world and no matter where you go, someone will be taller than you, smarter than you and OMG, tanner than you!! LOL! Honey, since you started your own business, you're going to find out it wasn't all the Boomers fault even when they disagreed with one another.
That's just how from 1946 to 1964 went . . . You're going to have to learn to deal with those older people.
