Lots- the lil fizzy candies we used to make it look like we were foaming at the mouth, because having rabies was hilarious #GenXProblems #GenXLife
We were promised flying cars.

Listening to At The Gates Live in Krakow 1995. My old self still can't get my head round that this is a digital only release. I want to hold a CD case or record cover. Physical media is a pain to store en masse but it's so beautiful.

"GenX in a nutshell: We're 45-60, still don't trust authority, never will ask for help, & still know every word to a song we haven't heard since 1987. We have bad backs, good instincts, & zero tolerance for BS..."
Forgotten. Yep. That's us.

Pink text on a dark red background that says, "When I was your age, I had to walk 10 feet through shaggy carpet to change the TV channel. [TV emoji]"
Ah, the soft shaggy pile of that carpeted jouney, especially in socks. Who could forget the shock as you reached out to the TV knob? And you didn't bump the antenna when you were there! It was an ass whoopin' if you f*tucked up the reception.

An old computer from the 80s with text on the screen that says, "It's now safe to turn off your computer."
We used to have to wait. We had endless patience. Now? I want a 30 sec boot time.

Pink text on a red background that says, "My brain has too many tabs open, and one of them is playing music I can't find."
And it's that song I hate but must compulsively hum along to.

Wait, what? Prom night *isn’t* a weird anagram of mmorp night? #genxProblems
I'm almost at the point where I can write "ABM" in my article and think "Agent-Based Model" instead of "Anti-Ballistic Missile." #GenXProblems
I just told my dogs to “Stow it, dingy!” and they looked at me with a quizzical expression. Now I’m disappointed they didn’t get the reference. #GenXProblems
I keep running out of work-bag ibuprofen because I'm using it at home when I can't find the kitchen ibuprofen or the bathroom ibuprofen #genxproblems
You know, I don't read contemporary romance and rom-coms to be faced with my own mortality, but when you're closer in age to the main character's washed-up parents than you are to the MCs it gets harder to ignore. #GenXProblems 💙📚
I think I was influenced by the "Do Not Disturb" mode... That and at some level always having REM stuck in my head. #GenXProblems
Can't remember what I had for dinner two nights ago but I can remember all of the lyrics to Panama...

Tell me you have a #tween without telling me you have a tween: I just spent 30 minutes on YouTube watching #GenAlpha language translations. #mommoments #genxproblems #NoCap
So I have to wear reading glasses when I'm scrolling Tiktok on my phone, and need special prescription computer glasses when I'm at work/scrolling Bluesky on my Surface Pro, but according to the eye doc, I'm still 20/20 for anything more than 24" away from my face? I call horseshit.

I still think about that time two years ago when I accidentally said Brittney Spears when I meant Taylor Swift. #GenXproblems #morto

"35 years working" was 4 years ago.
Not even considering retirement for another 12.
