I'm a jerk, apparently!

Lovely story (and I know I always say that, but bear with me) in the NYT about how this whole mid-life crisis thing is a sham, and that it's used to excuse all sorts of behaviour: 'you have to admit that “I’m having a midlife crisis” sounds a lot better than “I’m a narcissistic jerk having a meltdown.”' Mmm... this is me, isn't it?
