Got this in an email today and just had to :)




You know you're living in 2004 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.

AND..............

13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends."

15. You got this email from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.

16. You're too busy to notice there was no #9.

17. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9.

AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself.



I confess that I am guilty of seven of the items above. :lol

You know you're living in 2004 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
no

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
played a few months ago with real cards

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3
only 4 #

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
*looks next to him* no desk or person working there

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
or Instant Messaging

6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
never answered the phone at work.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.
I avoid all ground wired phones, just use my cell

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
all my jobs were blue collar (or green collar in my case)

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.
I don't need the news that I don't need to inform me about my repetitive redundancy that I have.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
unemployed ATM

12. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.
I wish.

AND..............

13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.
Hmm nope. My monitor and I haven't developed that intimate of a bond yet.

14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends."
I suppose bumping is considered a lite form of forwarding.

15. You got this email from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.
well, match.com and yahoo regularly send me photo personals in my area, some of which I consider jokes.

16. You're too busy to notice there was no #9.
maybe

17. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9.
actually it didn't require scrolling since both #8 and #17 fit in my browser window at once.

AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself.
Well I was at about 11:43 PM, actually it was at the picture I edited of Bill Gates. But I dunno, is laughing at your work considered laughing at yourself? But it was an image of Bill Gates, so I dunno.
