Suggested Names for Those Who Are Not a Millennial but Not Quite Gen X

What Do You Call the People Who Are in Gen X/Millennial Label Limbo? This graphic up there puts my age group squarely in Millennial, but there are a lot who put me as a young Gen-Xer.
I don't feel like I fully belong in either! There've been some fun-to-read pieces on this "microgeneration" who sit on the cusp of either Gen X or Millennial, and interesting monikers for us, too.

"Generation Jordan Catalano" is one, in reference to the short-lived but much beloved TV series "My So-Called Life" starring Claire Danes. So beloved, I think, because it captures that time period for those who were in high school/middle school during the height of the Alternative Music Grunge Era. Gen X is the most "Existential Crisis" of Generations. To be a teenager during the hey day of such malaise among the people slightly older than you is to double down on the Existential Crisis that is Teenagerhood. MSCL captured that "ugh"-ness of the time an…

Pertinent Question: Is Grimace Black? - A Contemplation Prompted by the TV Show Pysch

The Quirky Conversations of Psych: Is McDonald's Grimace Black?
I was watching Pysch on Demand tonight (whoo hoo exciting Saturday!) and Shawn and Gus were debating on the race of Grimace.

Gus insisted that Grimace was "a brother." Shawn said, "I'll give you Vin Diesel. But Grimace? No." Later in the episode, Gus declared that Grimace's name was "Grimace T. Jackson" thus proving he is black.
So fricken funny. I LOVE that show.

Research: So, What IS Grimace???
I googled "grimace is black" and got to this site, which was hilarious. Even the comments were awesome: http://www.gunaxin.com/what-is-grimace/11120

Here's a Twitter thread, the the McDonald's company even weighed in on:

Every Young Child in the Presence of Grimace: OMFGGGG NOOOO

I believe Grimace is not of any earthly r…

"Sparking Joy" at Work: How I Used the KonMari Method to Organize My Office

The Occasional Organization Post: Using Marie Kondo's Method of Tidying and Organizing at Work As many of us have learned from reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" or from watching Marie Kondo's "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix, the magic of her method is in its underlying philosophy and guiding principles: it's about "keeping what you love" and surrounding yourself with items that "spark joy."
So how on earth could one possibly use the KonMari Method to tidy up their office?! What "sparks joy" in paperwork? How can you "love" your Inbox?
That's a question I set out to answer for myself this summer, when I decided to embark on a project of KonMari-ing my workspace.
My Previous KonMari Tidying Up Experience
A year and a half ago I moved from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. Though they are little states, and Boston and Providence are not far from each other, packing for me was a BIG project. I…
