You know you're living in 2005 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 and family is
that they don't have e-mail

addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work and you still answer the phone
in a businesslike

manner.

7. You make phone calls from home and 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. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if
anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have
the first 20 or 30 (or 60)

years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go
and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16 You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your
friends-you know you want to!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. LAUGHING AT
YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC.

I like that...and it's sadly true. Minus a few of them

ChrisL hasn't been wasting time here much lately, so I'll take a crack at these.

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
I had a microwave with buttons and LED's once. Now I've got one with just 2 knobs that is way more "user-friendly."

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
Hey, at least I still know how to shuffle

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
Actually, it's a list of 15 email addresses. Phones are evil.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
So I'm lazy. It took 20 calories to hit the keys a few times. It would've taken at least 40 to stand up and peer over the cubicle wall.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
Nobody is forcing Grandma to live in the stone age. It's her own choice.

6. You go home after a long day at work and you still answer the phone in a businesslike manner.
Work is evil for making me use the phones.

7. You make phone calls from home and you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.
And it always takes me a second to figure why the 4-digit local extension doesn't work.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
It's better than working at the same company for 4 years and sitting at 3 different desks...unless they get progressively bigger.

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

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
I think it has something to do with the pointy hair.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
Phones may be evil, but the horn angers the neighbors.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.
...and none of those websites have any useful information or give you a clue what the drug being advertised actually does.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
Phones are evil. The darn thing can stay in the oven until I get back.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
Holy Moley! It's been 8 hours since I've checked my email!

16 You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
lol, that roxorz 8ig-tyme. :P
