(1) The office computers have been slow today. Like… irritatingly slow. Like the over 60 year olds who don’t push their processors are even complaining about how slow it is. For me? A guy that typically likes to get thousands of words typed an hour and hundreds of things filed (when I have the need, which I do today)… this is maddening. I am literally an hour behind simply due to “Double Click on Word Document”… five minutes later it opens. “Convert word to PDF”… ten minutes later. FOR FUCK SAKE, PC, MOVE!
(2) As ages of things came up recently, I thought it appropriate to state what I’ve discovered. In a majority of friendships that I’ve cultivated locally and all of the cases involving people under the age of 40? The local trend is “definitely has a baby before 25. At least one. Typically 2. Then married for the first time somewhere between 25 and 35. That’s the norm, the standard, the typical local thing.
Meanwhile, back home? I only have two friends that are married and one that just recently got engaged. None of the unmarried friends have kids. The married partners got married/engaged in their late 20s and started having babies shortly after their weddings. The couple that just got engaged? 26 and 28 with no children and not expecting. So… yeah. Different strokes for different folks… but the local areas is SURE… uhm.... well, you can call it what you wish. I’ll just say that it is… a lot of kid having at young ages.

IMO, at least here in Canada. I think things have changed generationally, a lot of people are getting married later, having kids later or not even having kids at all. I think it has to do with money as it takes a lot longer to get in a job that is going to be secure- at least from what I've seen.
