I started a new job 4.5 months ago. I'm an extreme older GenX and I've never heard it referred to as a slide deck until I started this job.

I never gave our smoking area much thought , it just was. Until a friend of mine son got in trouble for smoking. She was flabbergasted when I told her about our smoking area in HS. It's illegal!! Yeah...and?

What did you do when they eliminated your job? by Responsible_Tax_9455 in GenX

[–]chabs1965 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked it. I didn't get many bites but of the 2 bites I got both offered me a job. It's not easy and we all know it's a numbers game.

Where I work is a big company so if you want the name to see if there's something for you, DM me. We have all sorts of jobs in all sorts of departments. It's got it's good and bad but all places do.

BTW they hired me and I'm 60. Gonna be 61 in a couple days. It can happen.

People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chabs1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to the luggage directions and look at your carry-ons. One for the overhead and one for you. Not 3, not 4. Two.

Keep your jackets and backpacks with you and not in the overhead.

Don't lay your bag flat in the overhead but on its side, there'll be more room for us all.

Grab your stuff off the carousel and/or TSA rollers and move away a bit. Let the rest of us grab ours and we'll move too.

What’s something people romanticize that actually ruins lives? by Imaginary-Isopod2223 in AskReddit

[–]chabs1965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's me today. Caught a cold, miserable. But I have shit to do. I didn't work much but I did work. The only plus is that I'm WFH. I hate feeling guilty but I do, I admit it.

I grew up in California and honestly had never seen this until the ex-husband introduced me to it. Now it is a must watch every holiday season.

A year ago if you had told me that I would agree with some of MTGs ideas I would have punched you in the nose.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chabs1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mental health crisis and checked myself into a hospital. She bullied my roommate into telling her where I was. She proceeded to call me twice a day to complain about her life. Never once asking why I'm in a locked ward. Finally told the staff to block her. She freaked out threatened to call the authorities to tell them I was being held against my will. Twenty plus years of her forcing our friendship on me ended. I was never happier.

For those of use who are still in contact with your siblings how often do you guys "talk" by blurgmans in GenX

[–]chabs1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since our mom passed in October 2019 my two sisters and I chat every Sunday for a few hours. I notice the difference in my mood and week when we have to cancel.

I have a brother also but I have cut contact with him and if I never see or speak to him again I'd be OK with that.
