    Back in my day, cells were tiny little things we studied in Biology; Netflix were movies about tennis; posting on a wall involved a placard, hammer and nail (that possibly could get you in trouble).

    We always stood up and had our hands over our hearts when the American flag was raised and the Star Spangled banner was sung/played. The young generation doesn't even stop or stand still to acknowledge the pledge anymore.

    Back in my day, the workplace allowed an uninterrupted 1/2 hour meal break and smoking was allowed in the break room.

    You could sexually harass your co-workers a little and it was okay. Because usually you got married eventually or at least engaged for a few years.

    Workplace parties were fully paid for by the employer and held in classy venues off premises. The buffets were fabulous. And the 16 year olds were invited and encouraged to have a nip or two at the open bar.

    The criteria for promotions were an even mixture of nepotism and merit, not post-secondary degrees.

    And most importantly, there was an unspoken agreement adhered to by almost all. We're here to make a living because we have to. This isn't a hobby or a lark. So we're going to treat each other cordially, and even in a friendly manner. We'll forgive each other our mistakes and shortcomings, so we'll make it through these 8 hours with our dignity intact and not give each other nervous breakdowns.

    Those were the days.

    Time for a new job??? :grimace:
