I meant to get this post up yesterday, but a near-migraine slowed me down (hooray for Excedrin Migraine, which kept it from going to full-on migraine!).

I've seen that "Millennials" article from New York Magazine around a bit, and while I think generational differences are interesting* and I definitely feel for you Millennials/GenYs** I find this take to be hilarious. And, uh, more apropos. For me.
