Speaking of those generational divides, did you know that Post-It notes haven’t always been around? Martha shares a listener’s funny email about that. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Post-It Notes”
We were talking earlier in the show, Grant, about language that you use that makes you realize that the other person is from another generation because they have no clue what you’re talking about.
Right.
We got an email from Mary Ellen Cordes of San Diego, and she writes,
I worked at a school for 33 years, and last year a young woman, a parent, asked me to leave a message for an individual.
I grabbed a Post-it note and made the comment, what did we do without Post-it notes?
She just looked at me and said, haven’t we always had them?
And Mary Helen writes, oops, I really felt old.
It’s hard to imagine not having Post-it notes, but there was a time, boys and girls, when they did not exist.
