Not a big fan. Plus sometimes they get in n out and by the time the food arrives the burgers and fries are cold. Like I said, #fwp

Nope, not the norm.

But it has been customary at my work place to have a sign-up sheet to bring some matter of breakfast food for most days in December. And then there are the meetings with vendors, project groups, and the like, where lunch is usually provided.

Not related, but... the prep school my son will be attending next year has about 5 or so "gourmet" food trucks that show up once a week for lunch.

My Subaru needs a service.

I can't decide whether to throw my weight around and demand a courtesy car for free (they usually charge about $30 I think) or just get it done in my week off after Christmas and do the 20 min walk there and back.

We get a guy with downs syndrome and his carer come round with a trolley of sandwiches on a friday.

it's a pretty small silver lining on an otherwise major grey shitfuck of a stormcloud, really, isn't it...

you have security, a career, a home or at least a mortgage... we have a landlord-shark rental market, a graduate jobs market undergoing a third-world famine, and just about more debts from standard-fare education and living-costs than any other generation since possibly the 1970's...

yeah, as a general rule... standard of living is higher for those that 'have', but not for the 'have nots'.

i'd say a 30-something year old guy in mid-career, mid-age, mid-life could talk pleasantly about the "standard of living being higher"

the 17 year old kid about to look at £35,000 of debt for a basic, useless ba from some diluted ran-as-a-business university probably won't

Sure, I realise its gruesome for people starting out now.

Still you have all your gadgets and a comfy lifestyle, you're not doing manual work to put yourself through college, many people are going to college when in reality they should just go straight to work.

come on though... i'd take a free thatcher-era university education over a fancy £600 iphone, anyday

it's not as if you missed technology and conveniences that weren't even invented yet

we however are dealing with huge loans and a lack of opportunity, knowing that our own PARENTS had a much better deal

pretty easy to be bitter

/fwp to the max
