Welcome to Thursday. Never could quite get the hang of Thursday. Another one of my generation died yesterday at 57 years old. Mark Lanegan. One of the original grunge artists. Screaming Trees, QOTSA. There's fewer and fewer left each day. I had a bit of a revelation yesterday. Do you know why Gen X and Millennials tend to get along so well? We both had the same parents. So yes, once again, boomers fucking ruin everything. Think about it for a second; for every boomer who had a kid at 17, there was one who waited until they were 37. So someone who is 50 and someone who is 30 had basically the exact same parents. We may have different world experiences in terms of what we consumed, but our growing up lives, the way we were parented, the expectations from parents, etc was the same experience. We bond on the fact that our parents suck. It's also why so many younger generations tend to blur gen x and boomers. We look the same to them - old. Ponder that for a while.
Dealt with a shitstorm of IT issues yesterday that weren't mine to deal with but I was the only one who seemed to be available. Even had to call a customer directly on the phone. Ew. Worked on docs too.
Had a rough sleep. I have been scratching a lot in my sleep because it's so fucking dry here. I need to run the humidifier again. Get some air flowing in that room. Otherwise it's going to kill me. Wake up with blood marks on my fingers because I scratched so much in my sleep. Fun.
Teach today. 10:30 - 6:30 even though I know it won't go that long. Should finish honestly around 4. Then if the heavens are with me, group finally. We shall see.
