sometimes you read a description of "these kids today" and realize, they got me:
These workers need new ways to connect, said Ethan Watters, who studied young urban professionals in his book, “Urban Tribes.” They live far from their families, he said, and work in highly fluid industries where co-workers change continuously. Unlike professionals from an earlier generation, they marry later and have weak ties to organized religious or community groups.
“They have no old family, no new family, so there’s a vacuum there, and since we’re social creatures, the vacuum gets filled with things like this,” he said.
the people described are attendees at what seems to be an anti-networking networking event for "young creative professionals" called Likemind.
maybe i should go to something like this
i need meet more people, professionally, socially....
and i can already tell that i'm gonna have a hard time getting my ass out of the house. winter's coming, and that always kinda hits me hard.
