Stupid millenials and their hipster outdoor recreation.

(Unless you meant too crowded with moose, in which case there is no such thing)

The coolest thing about millennials is that they all seem to have plenty of money as well as plenty of free time.

We recently hired a couple of new grads at work and they spend ~6 hours on their phones. Not ashamed at all either. Maybe you can tell me Rob, how do I get them to actually work?

From Andrea on Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 19:06:04 from 67.166.113.191

And for the record, I deny any information that I'm a millenial.

I didn't know what millenials actually meant until we just looked it up. I figured Andrea was one, but didn't ever think I was classified in that group too! I do like your description of the demographic, Rob.

I think assigning specific traits to an entire generation is lazy thinking but I'm not above it when it suits my purposes.

i have students who are not ashamed to watch entire episodes of prison break during my class. they are learning lots and this semester is going really well.

From allie on Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 08:23:07 from 24.99.46.55

also, the alternative for late gen-xers to early millenials is the MTV generation. i'm going with that one.

The millennials I work with LIVE with earbuds in, and sigh, when you try to talk to them.

From Rob Murphy on Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 10:50:13 from 163.248.33.220

You need to be texting them Tom. Duh!

From Jason D on Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 12:14:45 from 24.127.111.174

We are Generation X 2.0ers, Jake. Although Andrea and Allie are a bit younger, judging from the above, they fit in there too. I had long set of definitions, but based on the above, I'll define it as "it's someone of millennial age but who looks at other millennials with an old-man-get-off-my-lawn attitude."

Good run, Rob. The critters are finally outnumbering the kiddos at the park here in Southeastern Michigan.

From Jake K on Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 17:20:05 from 159.212.71.17

That's a good definition Jason and one that I'll go with. We can let Andrea into the GenX2.0 club, although I did ask her the other day if she remembered 9/11 and she got mad at me :-)
