I don't recall this ever being posted before, but if it has sorry ahead of time. I thought this was pretty cute and very accurate.
You know you are living in 2003 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
three.
4. You e-mail/page your friend who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they
do not 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 do "9" to get an outside line.
8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
10. Your resume is on a disk in your pocket.
11. Your biggest loss from a system crash was when you lost all of your best jokes.
12. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
13. Contractors out number permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.
14. Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World
countries' annual budgets combined.
15. Interviewees, despite not having the relevant knowledge or
experience, terminate the interview when told of the starting salary.
16. Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet.
17. Your boss gets a brand-new state-of-the-art laptop with all the latest features, but you have time to go for lunch while yours boots up.
18. Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in the
hospital.
20. There's no money in the budget for the five permanent staff
your department desperately needs, but they can afford four full-time management consultants advising your boss's boss on strategy.
21. Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with
computers".
AND THE CLINCHERS ARE...
22. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.
23. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your
"friends".
24. You got this email from a friend that never talks to you
anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.
25. You are too busy to notice there was no 9 &19.
:thumbsup:
