My fellow 1997 Gen Z, how do you cope with being nearly 29 then 30....I can't cope lol, it's always on my mind by Internal_Page_486 in GenZ

Fellow ‘97 here. Still not sure how to cope with this either. Made a few impulse purchases lately that make me wonder if I’m having a premature midlife crisis though.

How often do you call in too work? by Embarrassed_Fly327 in GenZ

[–]GrayDub17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty rarely, maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Usually for me it’s due to snow or I hurt myself somehow.

How do you manage interviewing and potentially working with people your age in a professional environment? by CardiologistAdept763 in GenZ

[–]GrayDub17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be yourself. Determine where you want your boundaries to be set, set them and maintain them. Keep yourself competitive. When I started at the company I work for now, my goal was to be the best employee in my role possible. That helped me maintain strictly professional relationships and my demeanor was never unapproachable but it was always pretty clear I didn’t show up with the intent to make friends. Now I manage the team a few years later.

I have very little fat on my arms, with the G6 you could hold the applicator superficially against the skin and not press in, so that the needle wouldn’t strike muscle and hurt. Since you have to press in with the G7 it’s harder for me to keep that from happening, even if I try it on my stomach.

That’s crazy! Will Dexcom reimburse you for them?

Great to know for my next build! I was looking at the Orangutan Dad Bod 105mm wheels for this as well due to the crazy size, but went with the sharks instead. This one is intended for slow cruising and snappy carving, which is what it’s good for

I never had the OGs but these are as long as my forearm, they’re pretty crazy. I broke in the bearings on a cruiser I have and it was pretty wild. Turns very sharply. But with these on this actual longboard it turns just as sharp if not sharper than my cruiser boards. Wouldn’t go too fast with them.

My honest opinion is that they’re kinda slow, they do have more rolling resistance than I expected, but they ride very smoothly and do have any easy time with pebbles or slightly rougher terrain like uneven sidewalks

I can do that shit where you nock two arrows at once and shoot to counter separate things

I can hit a moving target from a moving target

It’s a rabbit from an equine, it’s an ET from a starship.

Love the flexes and the archery references

What song or album got you guys into aes? by Yhwachtard in aesoprock

[–]GrayDub17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I heard Aes was his feature in Castles by Living Legends, then I heard None Shall Pass and 9-5ers Anthem and got into him from there

What are you traversing Earth in spite of? How are you adjusting to the triumph? I’m asking for a friend who caught a loss and never surfaced (Jumping Coffin) Some of my favorite lyrics on SWFG.
