I do my work quickly... but don't tell anyone until the deadline is close. Thus I am always on time, but they don't know I can be ahead of schedule ;)

Lol I did the same thing at my last job. I was multitasking as well so finished way faster than usual but never tell them.

I had an assignment in a high school class that I finished real fast and turned in. The teacher then assigned me more work, an essay that no one else had to do. So I wrote an essay about how I didn't feel I should have to do it, being punished for excelling. He got ticked off and called a parent conference with the principal. My mom, an AP English teacher, showed up for the meeting, and that teacher backtracked instantly. He was really cool to me from that moment on (and everyone in the school office stood up an applauded and I got straight As in all my classes from then on and was given a scholarship to Yale because of it.) Okay, that last part in parentheses didn't happen 🤣but the rest is true.

I always did that. Finished my work on Friday while friends didn’t all weekend freaking out and cramming

I tried that once, and hated the Sunday night scramble to get my homework done and cram for the expected Monday test before bedtime. So I went right back to my habit of starting my homework at the end of class once it’s assigned, continuing it on the bus, and finishing it once I got home on Friday afternoon, so I could have the entire weekend to play. Didn’t change when I grew up. I make sure all my grocery shopping, cleaning, and laundry is done by Friday night so I can have the entire weekend free to do as I please.

This is me also but I keep it to myself LOL. People always say "you're so organized". No, I'm just lazy. I really just want to do nothing so I want to get whatever it is done as quickly and efficiently as possible so I can do nothing again.😁

teachers want you to take your time to make sure your work is done properly and without mistakes, but the teacher fails to realise that i'll make the same mistakes in 5 minutes as i would in 1 hour, so let me make my mistakes quickly so i can sit there and wonder why im so dumb.

Only issue if it's an essay or something, where you did the bare minimum fast, but could have used the extra time to improvement. In saying that, I did essays like that all through uni.

Sloth is a sin, but like every sin it has a corresponding virtue. The corresponding virtue to Sloth is Efficiency; do everything correctly, the first time, as quickly as possible with minimum effort.
Researchers sometimes disagree about how to define each generation in terms of the year of birth.
However, it’s widely accepted that millennials (aka Generation Y) are people who were born in the United States between 1981 and 1996. Some argue for broader categorizations, encompassing 1980 to 2004.

Just did this yesterday with Andrew WK and this morning with Rancid. Just randomly remembered them, so I decided it was time for a relisten.
Immediately preceding millennials is Generation X, which includes folks who were born between 1965 and 1980. And before them, you have the so-called baby boomers, which includes Americans born after the Second World War, from 1946 all the way up to 1964.
Meanwhile, fast-forwarding a few decades into the future, you have Generation Z (whose members are widely referred to as Zoomers), which includes people born between 1997 and 2012.
As for the newest generation—Generation Alpha, aka Gen A—it includes people born in the US between 2013 and the mid-2020s. However, seeing as they’re still very young, there’s still some disagreement among some researchers. Some believe that the generation should include kids born from 2010 all the way up to 2024.

Gen A is the first generation born entirely in the 21st century, Investopedia points out. They are the children of millennials and are expected to be the largest generation in history. Members of Gen A have been immersed in technology since they were born. They spend more time online and in front of tech devices than any prior cohort. It’s likely that many members of Gen A may live to see the 22nd century due to longer life expectancy trends.

But cycling back to millennials (aka the parents of Gen A), they are considered to be digital natives, the first to be born into a digital world.
“Technology has always been a part of their everyday lives—it’s been estimated that they check their phones as many as 150 times daily—and serving them has been a major contributing factor to the growth of Silicon Valley and other technology hubs,” Investopedia states.
Generation Y is the biggest generation in United States history, in terms of numbers. However, millennials have plenty of financial obstacles in their way. For example, they have record amounts of student loan debt. Meanwhile, there’s also an increasing wealth gap, meaning that they start off with less household income.
#21
As per Investopedia, the most popular personal finance priority for millennials is having enough cash for day-to-day living expenses. Some millennials postponed getting higher education due to a sluggish job market during the recession.
Meanwhile, when the market improved, many members of Gen Y became part of the gig economy. They then went remote during the pandemic. “Of course, some millennials struggle to land full-time positions and are making do with part-time positions, but overall, this group is earning more than other generations.”

Or how many times people's cars got broken into because they had one of these. Happened to me twice.
Investopedia warns that not enough millennials are planning for their future retirement. Around a fifth of them don’t have a job that provides employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Meanwhile, many members of Gen Y vastly underestimate how much money they’ll need to survive per year once they’re retirees.

Legit why people ask you to leave your name AND number anymore?
The ‘Nostalgia 4 Millennials’ account is a fairly recent addition to the archive of awesome and popular content creators on Instagram. It was first created in March 2024. In just over a year, the curator of the account managed to draw in a stunning number of followers, currently standing at 479k.
It just goes to show how inviting nostalgia-related content is, especially when paired with quality photos that embody the essence of decades past.

Gen-X is 50+ and still smoking pot to make those feelings go away.
What do you miss the most about the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s, dear Pandas? What generation are you a member of? Do you feel close to other members of your generation, or do you vibe the most with older or younger ones instead?
If you could, what’s one thing that you would bring back from your childhood into the present? Let us know!

I’m pre-coast to coast Wendy’s years old. We had McDonald's, Burger King, Burger Queen, HoJo’s, Gino’s, Burger Chef, and I think the first national Arby’s popping up back then. Gino’s, Burger Queen, Burger Chef, and HoJo’s don’t exist anymore, having closed down or been absorbed by the big guys at some point. Gino’s was especially good for burgers, and HoNo’s had delicious ice cream, if memory serves. Wow, this goes back a few decades.

My life took a left at Nintendo and Playstation. Lost a LOT of jobs calling in sick because I had to beat that level. Plus it was hot and I didn't want to go, so theres that... It all worked out though. My parents have a nice basement. It's a sybiotic relationship. I'm 60 and have cancer, they are both 80. Between all 3 of us we can accomplish the tasks of one normal person. haha

I miss memory cards, even if there was a chance of losing it to corruption or just plain losing it. Never had to worry about "You are out of space. Please make space for X game."
