The Lazy Millennial

Chris "The Dace Man" Dace grew up in the golden age of the 90s, survived the chaos of the early 2000s, and spent twenty‑three years grinding through warehouses, SAP rollouts, corporate restructures, endless travel, and the kind of burnout that makes you question every life choice you've ever made. After two decades of loyalty, sixteen years of travel, nine consulting clients, one pandemic, and the birth of three kids, he finally earned the title society loves to throw at his generation: Lazy Millennial.

This memoir is his unapologetic, sarcastic, brutally honest look at how he got there.

From childhood soccer fields and Mortal Kombat arguments, to warehouse summers, cross‑country implementations, pandemic streaming chaos, and the moment his son Wade arrived mid‑Minecraft Monday, Chris tells the story of a millennial caught between generations - raised by one that won't let go, overshadowed by one sprinting ahead, and trying to build a life that actually makes sense.

The Lazy Millennial is a blend of humor, nostalgia, frustration, fatherhood, corporate absurdity, and the quiet realization that choosing yourself isn't lazy - it's survival. It's the story of a man who gave everything to work until work gave nothing back, and how he finally stepped into an unwritten future on his own terms.

Short, sharp, chaotic, heartfelt - this is the millennial experience, told by someone who lived all of it and still somehow kept his sense of humor.
