He was definitely not a millennial.
He was a younger Boomer.

As obnoxious as I find people having loud and what should be (at least imo) private conversations in public, I do try to understand millennials and those younger than millennials grew up in very different times than I did as a Gen Xer. I mean, I remember the time before cell phones. I don't think they do, so they don't have the same frame of reference for private conversations, plus they also grew up, or at least came of age, with social media, where everyone seems to feel the need to broadcast it to the world every time they fart. Boomers have no fuckin' excuse ... unless they're the way older Boomers who could cite hearing loss.

I will never understand how people can have really private phone conversations very publicly, and loudly (I could see how outside a hospital, people may not be thinking entirely clearly, so I'd give them a wee bit of a break, or at least some of them, but still, wouldn't you be mindlful not to speak VERY LOUDLY?).

Anyway, random, pacing dude is named Dan (I now know his last name, too, but we'll just stick with "Dan"). Dan now has a reservation for dinner. It's at 7:30. He requested a "romantic table for 2." It really was all I could do not to ask if he would be dining with Tammy, like, is this a "sorry for being a jerk, Tammy" kind of dinner, or are his dinner plans with someone else. If I hadn't come inside to keep from laughing, I'd probably know. Dammit!

Clearly an amateur. If he went to Dole school, he would know to immediately hang up because its over. That way he saves money on the expensive "romantic" dinner she's bullying from him so she can get one last meal (or even a trip to the Bahamas) before she dumps him.

Guys have to see through the bullshit.

The "best" ones are the ones who have really loud, exceptionally personal conversations in places like the grocery store, especially if it's waiting in line at check out.
Even better is when they're having one of those conversations, people around them can't help but hear all of it, are trying not to react to the woman who is saying Bob should just take the viagra, and then act all offended as though they have some expectation of privacy.

Some of these people have never had to get a really long phone cord so they could stretch the phone all the way to their room to have a private conversation...and it shows.
 
Printed 200 pages (etc for tax reviews) from one of the Epson tank refill printers B&W and color. Solid quality and I can see ink levels and I have about 2000-2500 pages left even with color, depending on the color intensity. No more cartridges.

No, not 2500 pages to review but 2500 more before I need more print ink.
 
Wrote the property tax check to the thieving bolsheviks yesterday.

Working the federal taxes now.

No state income tax - yet.
