Since i can't think of anything else to do... I was surfing the net. Here are some interesting articles i've come across:
Bridging the Generation Gap
How to Manage a Younger Generation of Workers

Young employees entering the workforce approach it differently than those before; unsatisfied, demonstrate less loyalty, and put personal priorities above work.
As illustrated in Gen-ME in the Workplace, the generation gap can lead to conflict at work. The best way to deal: understand one another.
Laziness: Don't mistake lack of enthusiasm for laziness. My generation isn't afraid to work hard: it's just that our goals have shifted. Now we seek personal fulfillment beyond career success (or, occasionally, at the cost of it). Our energy goes into become better surfers, writers, or volunteers. Often, the job we arrive at every day is simply a bill-paying-mechanism.
Adapting a new style will help to retain these employees and utilize their strengths. Offer flexible schedules and benefits that allow each employee to foster what we call our "real" lives. Just because we don't want the corner office (because that will cut into our travel plans), doesn't mean we won't be all we can be at whatever job we're in.
Lack of loyalty: We may be young, but most of us know at least one person our own age who has been laid off due to downsizing. We also watched corporate scandals like Enron leaving workers with nothing. We don't expect to keep one job our entire life, even if that were our wish. Loyalty goes both ways.
Again, flexibility will help. If an employee wants to surf in the morning and work later at night, why not let him? As long as he's still producing good work, the only effect to your company is that you'll have a happier employee less likely to job-hop any time soon.
Unrealistic Aspirations: The "Be All You Can Be" message worked. We want to be mega-rich superstars, and we want it now. Someone just out of law school may think she can become a partner in five years. She'll even say as much. And you'll probably laugh at her.
Is this really a problem? Certainly she'll be unsatisfied with the monotony of an underling, but meanwhile you have a someone yearning to succeed. Take her under your wing and be up front with her about how quickly she can climb the ladder. If she feels she'd getting the attention she deserves, she'll probably thrive.
Constant need for feedback: My generation is me, me, me. Throw us a bone and we'll quit chirping. Sorry for the mixed metaphor. You know what I mean.
Show your rising stars that you're willing to work with them, and you'll be able to one day retire in the comfortable hands of the Next Generation. Now beam me up, Scotty.

^I can totally relate to this one!!! 
I admit working for the sake of paying bills. I guess this is the reason why there is quarter life crisis.
Anonymous may have been a woman -- But she isn't anymore.
by Janis Cortese

One of the favorite sayings of second wave and academic feminism is that, "Anonymous was a woman." What this means is that, when you find a saying, a piece of music, a book, or a work of art that's attributed to "Anonymous," chances are that it was done by a woman. This is for a variety of reasons.
The most obvious is that, for many years, if something were recognized as done by a woman, it would immediately be pooh-poohed and ignored. Many women, such as Sophie Germain the renowned mathematician, had to work as men in disguise. Many writers, like George Sand or James Tiptree, Jr. had to use male pseudonyms. Other women like composer Fanny Mendelssohn or the unknown lover of Auguste Rodin, had to give their hard work to the men in their lives so that they could take credit for it.
And other women deliberately hid their names, because it was easier for something to be recognized as a work of genius if it were completely disconnected from a name than if it were connected to a woman's.
Of course, this is disgusting. Anyone who creates something wonderful deserves all the credit, accolades, and profits from what they've done, male or female. Everyone deserves to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The fact that so many brilliant women have been hidden, ignored, or masculinized throughout history is appalling.
However, what I've found in the second wave academic feminist circles, is that this is romanticized until it's almost preferred. I've seen students in Women's Studies, more than one, deliberately sign letters to campus newspapers "Anonymous." I've seen letters and essays in essay collections signed the same way. The Guerilla Grrls, a group of young east coast artists, deliberately keep their names secret instead of proudly proclaiming their identity in such a groundbreaking group. This is roughly analogous to protesting wife-battering by letting your husband beat the crap out of you.
Why are we perpetuating this? Why is anything that calls itself feminism romanticizing this maginalization until they perpetuate it?
Isn't is just a little hypocritical to complain about how women have been erased from the ranks of history while voluntarily erasing yourself?
Isn't it just a little self-serving for 20th century women with far more resources and freedoms to starch their lip and pretend sisterhood with women in medieval times, who were denied even legal existence as adults?
Isn't it counterproductive for young girls growing up nowdays to learn that a woman protests injustice by erasing herself?
Isn't it stupid to voluntarily give up open and honest claims to power and achievement just to make some outdated point?
Isn't it self-defeating to yell our lungs out about how women have been shackled, and then step right back into the same shackles in the name of feminism?
Women have been erased, stomped, and buried for centuries. I'll be damned if I'm going to congratulate modern women who perpetuate that. I'd rather change it such that a brilliant woman artist or musician, or a keen minded writer, can sign a woman's name to her work and have it recognized a a work of genius. And until we start signing our names, it's not going to happen.

^ I was just curious as to what the third wave of feminism is and i happened to stumble along a couple of really good articles. I can't really post them up here because it would take too much space, but...oh my gosh... I want to learn more! I can safely say that i'm a 3rd wave feminist. 
I like juggling differeng things in my life. Load me up, baby.
Currently listening to: water trickling..again
Currently reading: random articles online (sometimes i stumble on ergonomics, health, and occ. safety too)
Currently feeling: still having the impending doom feeling, but wanting to SHARE as
