I am a bit pissed off. I come from a big family where you were always expected to wait your turn. What has happened last year youngest brother passed away (not unexpextedly) and then last week my youngest sister the baby of the family (even at 59) got home from work , got into shower had a brain aneurysm and died. We has funeral etc on Monday, and talking to oldest sisters (84 & 85) they were in a world of disbelief that she went before them. As one confided to my wife, geez I just filling in space these days, so can't see why it wasn't me. Just shows how younger ones just have no repect for tradition!!
Must admit it knocked the shit out of me too, she is 10 years my junior, and I was feeling stunned, just a couple of weeks ago she was laughing with my daughter that she was turning 60 this year, my daughter turning 50, my oldest grandson turns 30 and I turn 70, so she was starting to organise a zero family party!! Should of known she would find a way out of it!! -
@Dan54 you have an amazing attitude towards life mate. Sorry to hear that, take care.

LinkedIn
The most self-serving, circle jerk version of themselves that people post. Tongues firmly wedged up each others arseholes posting the most inane, insufferable nonsense, and that's before we get to see the outrageous lies these self-absorbed piston wristed gibbons invent for their career. The rest is inspirational garbage for the drooling. 2007 era Facebook without the cat videos.

I’ve never used LinkedIn but as I’m a real team player with a can do attitude and a keen problem solver I reckon I probably should.

Actually logged in after about 6 years away after reading this. Used to be a good way to keep in contact with old work colleagues, but fuck me, what a cess-pit it is now.

It’s basically a snapshot CV, so it should be FIGJAM.
If you say your bang average, then it kind of goes against the point …
But I do agree with most of the above!
Arguing semantics, but I reckon there's a happy niche that's somewhere well above bang average, but also below the FIGJAM of some of the newsfeed.
I'm likely in full Grumpy Old Man mode at the moment, given the state of recent LinkedIn notifications...
