it’s so difficult not being able to use milennial humor in a corporate setting. like i made a mistake today and i wanted to tell my supervisor it’s because i suffer from Dumb Bitch Disease, but do you think that would fly?? fuck no. i gotta say shit like, “sorry for the misunderstanding!” i can’t wait till the workforce is made up entirely of millennials and i can say “sorry i drank idiot juice for breakfast this morning” and my coworkers will be like “oh worm.”
Working in an office with mostly fellow millennials is still hit-or-miss dependent on meme literacy, and it’s so unnecessarily stressful to have to make that split-second decision of what dialect I can use with each person.
That’s what I was thinking, like I didn’t grow up around people my age too much what with being homeschooled so my references are from stuff from the 80s, like the Muppet Show or Mel Brooks movies or Bob and Doug McKenzie OR going even more obscure from British sitcoms from the 70s. So while I kinda know memes I’m more likely to use stuff like “oh geez eh that’s a bummer,” with people I’m comfortable with lol.
Also Jeeves and Wooster but I think even LESS people would understand that.
