Can't wait until my Fidget Cube comes in tomorrow.

I just found out our project mgr is leaving (moving away for family stuff), and we have to have a "farewell lunch" today at 1.... I take lunch at 2, so this screws up my schedule (I stay until 7, so late lunch splits the day up better for me).

Guess you get to have a 2 hour lunch today! The first half is all business meeting, the second half is actually lunch.

This is probably going to have at least one tearful speech (guy has worked here since the beginning), and I'm not sure if I will be able to drink a beer. Besides, I'd much rather take lunch by myself.

Lunch is catered in about once every other week - but I rarely partake and often go to lunch with my friends outside the building, so I feel ya.

I spent the holidays with my brother, his girlfriend and my fiance`. My brother (Josh) lives in Brooklyn and has become essentially a judgmental vegan smoker which I've experienced a lot of any time I go visit him--people who do hard drugs but won't eat bread. While we were at my Grandma's I told her to turn on some music I thought she'd like and she did in fact enjoy it. Now Josh and his girlfriend unleash their inner Brooklyn and just destroy this music that everyone was enjoying. I was triggered by this situation which came to fruition apparently today.
Is it just me or did everyone forget that they like liking things? I have heard nothing but judgment about music, movies, TV shows, hobbies etc for so long it's almost normal to me now but it shouldn't be. In my opinion people who behave this way are attempting to be special or out of the ordinary and in reality they are exactly like everyone else around them. If you really want to standout nowadays you'll shop at the gap and listen to Dave Matthews Band.
It kind of reminds me of high school. I was friends with pretty much everyone but the coolest kids to me were the outcasts. I didn't realize until later that the reason I thought that was because they didn't give a shit about what the other kids thought and they were just being whoever it was that they were at the time. This is part of the reason I feel like I can't relate to people anymore because everyone my age acts like a complete idiot.
Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?

It's not even just hipsters though it's people who have adopted their judgmental mindset too. Seems like everyone my age in NJ is like this practically. I can't stand it.

Beat me to it. But I have run across the heroin-shooting vegan hipsters who look down their nose at everything. I usually refrain from punching them because they're so frail and would break easily. Just remember, most people are freaking a$$holes, that should help shed some of your disillusionment. Enjoy whatever it is that you enjoy and don't let the opinions of other deter you from that. Live your own life and you will be happy. Don't let them get you down.

Everyone likes different things. Some people like to be asshats. I always get a good laugh out of them and move on. Not worth my time interacting or escalating.

You're right. Getting into a sort of recursive logic, I've had this conversation quite a few times, what seems to have happened is that people were so constantly and consistently told it was cool to be different, that they took this as "Don't like something that someone else does" and it shows in their criticism. So they try to anti-conform to things, and what makes it funny is that this is now the standard thing to conform to- anti-conformity.
Basically they defeated their purpose by making that their purpose. But, this is just my theory based on my experience with it.

Explain
Just explaining my concerns on a setup that was running long ago and disabled, want me to re-set it up. Just found out this week that it used to run previously.
Ok...why? was the issue fixed? What was it? I need to know before I enable it again and cause more issues. -
