Look what arrived in the mail on Friday - one of Le's t-shirts*. Love it. Have worn it all weekend. It makes it easy to tell who all the non-gen x-ers are because they just don't see the humour. In fact I think, Le, you need to add one more gen x t-shirt to the list:
[gen x]
we told you so
After all, apart from those war babies of the 1930s and 40s we are the ones who've spent our formative years surviving the previous financial downturn (don't make me say credit crunch). We know how to survive crappy entry-level jobs our apprenticeships making tea, running errands and doing photocopies. And we love to stand around at parties telling everyone we saw it coming.
Not that I have been, of course. I'm preferring to take the head.in.the.sand fingers.in.ears la la la la la approach. :)
*I know you want one, buy one here.
PS. No offence to the Boomers and Whiners. I loves youse all.

LOL! LOVE the t-shirt!
But... am I a Boomer or an X-y? I always seem to find different answers to that question.
1965... what do you think, M?
Oh, Fe, definitely X.
Yeah!!! Now you'll have to teach me what that means, exactly. I know I'm the older reaches of it though.
It's about time we gen-Xers were acknowledged! We did it tough and we are still supporting the whole world.
You don't mind that I shared your soapbox, do you?
I want one!
I'm off to check it out ...
assuming I make it in 1963?
Fabulous! If I was living in a country whose mailing system I could rely on I would be buying one right now....
Did you hear/see that recent interview George W Bush gave, when he talked about the disastrous eight years of his presidency and had the gall to say he inherited all that crap from the previous administration?
Now, that's a very Gen-X thing to do.
Lesley is laying the smack down!! :-) That's a Gen-Y thing to do. Not Gen-x. We're right... remember?
Umm... I thought we baby boomers did it tough, personally. My generation fought for women working. Oh, what a mistake that was! Roll on retirement.
Hi Lesley, I think the George Bush blame game is a very politician thing to do.
We Gen-Xers just wouldn't admit we did anything wrong...because the 'me' generation is always right.
:)
I love it! I had some friends around on the weekend and this t-shirt would have been perfect because a fair part of the afternoon was spent complaining about all our gen y siblings and their sense of entitlement. We, of course, are perfect :-)
Ugh! - so far behind on your blog !! Apologies !!
My sister and I often share eye-rolling emails on the whineyness and demands of Gen-Y'ers straight from Uni in their first job, demanding paid holidays, Mercs for company cars, and answering the phone is 'not in their job description'.
