SilverClock 09/12/17 10:05:15 PM #1:	Like 50+ y/o. And it sucks because I work either with them or for them most of the time. I'm polite as possible. I just can't ever seem to joke around with them most of the time. Half the time I can't even tell if they're joking. And they just look at me with this half open smile and I can't tell whether they are serious or messing with me. It doesn't help that there's this huge gap in technology knowledge with them usually having little to no interest in computers or video games. Anyone else have this problem? I'm not sure what else I can do besides age myself. Lol. --- 3DS FC: 5327-2159-0942 IGN: Ryan <cite>SilverClock posted [p:886497311] in I can't se... [t:75768771]...</cite> <quote>Like 50+ y/o.

MasterGakke 09/12/17 11:30:22 PM #12:	Werther's Originals are hard caramel candies. They're really good, but also have the reputation of being old people candy. In reality old people like all types of hard candies, because the concentrated sugar still lights up the pleasure centers of the brain even if decades of slurping 140 degree coffee and chainsmoking have burned out their tastebuds. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. <cite>MasterGakke posted [p:886501381] in I can't se...

SilverClock 09/12/17 11:51:28 PM #15:	I worked in a nursing home for three years. A lot were either really demanding, apathetic about living, nearly deaf, not all there, or talked your ear off because no one visited them. There were some cool ones there but I rarely got the time to just sit and visit with them while I was working. And even then it was just small talk. Currently I've been working with a family for almost and year, and haven't really made any kind of connection. And I would like to, we just have NOTHING in common. It bothers me sometimes but it's a minor complaint for an otherwise easy job. --- 3DS FC: 5327-2159-0942 IGN: Ryan <cite>SilverClock posted [p:886502299] in I can't se...
