After a shit week I needed something to get me through the weekend…and found it. Generalisations aside, I thought this forum commenting on Baby Boomers was interesting. My interest is a long standing issue with dealing with greedy, cynical people who, for some reason can’t understand opportunity and think of risk as leaping off a bridge with a rope around their ankles. Having just been on the end of what appears to be a gentle shafting by the old people we rented off before moving into our own house I am probably less sympathetic than usual. Watching old teachers act in nasty, selfish ways at the expense of colleagues and students has me slightly sickened and it seems to be for no better reason than that they feel insecure about something or simply have no understanding of “all these new things”. I swear, if I hear one more old fart say that they are proud of their inability to use a computer I will smack them all the way back to the 60s. It’s tiring, it’s boring, it’s not a productive attitude and it’s time for a changing of the guard me thinks.
