We Are Young

The other day I was standing in the front greeting area involved in a conversation with 2 people I knew from outside of the office and my boss. The conversation was not involving anything specific, and was really not worth mentioning, until my boss was asked how our staffing situation was. Now a little back story needs to be involved here because for quite a while our office best resembled a revolving door when it came to personal. The list of reasons why this office went through employees like coffee starts at my shoulder, run down my arm, out the door, and down the hall. Lets just say I feel no need to list them right now. Though it should be noted that several of the reasons seem to be tethered to the above mentioned boss. Well for a while everything seemed to calm down, but a couple of months ago another one of our secretaries decided to leave, it should also be noted that she was only 21at the time. She decided that she wanted to move to Paris for a couple of years in order to try something new, I could tell that she wasn't happy here anymore, and anyone who couldn't see that is blind, deff and dumb. My boss was of course surprised. However in the words of my boss it was "She has these grand plans of moving to Paris to become a nanny", and it was in a tone that almost held disdain. Before I could properly correct him for being such an idiot for not being able to understand his employees or anyone younger than the previous ice age, they were called into a meeting. It was once again time for annoyance for my boss to boil at the surface as it has done all to many times throughout the past 2.5 years. I was upset that I didn't step up and nail the bastard, that I didn't stand up for her, for me, for the young, for us. This was also the time that I realized that the young can never be represented by the old, and as we get older we loose touch with the young. The old get lost in the in the past, and the young roll past as the old daydream. I am young, we are young, the world is in our hands, dream and don't let the old slow you down.
