When you are 20 years older than your colleagues

You wouldn't say it, of course (I'm casually flipping a strand of hair over my right shoulder), but in some cases, I am older than the mothers of the girls who work with me. And no matter how youthful they keep me, there are still huge generational differences. An overview in random order.

1. They don't watch TV
Stronger; they don't even have a TV. They barely know what it is, but they watch Netflix, Videoland, and HBO. Their couch is also turned towards the window because they don't need a view of a wall; they look at their laptop.

2. They Uber around like crazy
I used to take a taxi when I was abroad. Never at home. Or at most when I had a premiere or something else where I had to appear a bit glamorous and it was pouring rain outside. But taking a taxi to work? Never!

3. They say blush and not rouge

4. I have to explain who Dinand Woesthoff is. They don't know Kane either. And Ron Brandsteder is the father of Rick.

5. They don't call, but send voice memos. All the time in a row.

6. Their phone is on ‘Do Not Disturb’. This way they get notifications, but they don't see them immediately so you get a little less stimuli coming at you.

7. They start very early with cosmetic corrections. Let's put it this way: they easily reach for the injection needle.

8. They have an empty Instagram account. So not anonymous, but there are no photos on it. Why?

9. They all have an electric bike. All of them.
