Signs That You've Had Too Much Of The 90's:
(Is this still funny in the 00's? I wonder what you think of
it...)
- You try to enter your password on the microwave.
- You have a list of fifteen phone numbers to reach your family of
three.
- You e-mail your work colleague at the desk next to you to ask "Do
you fancy going down the pub?" and they reply "Yeah, give me five
minutes".
- You chat several times a day with a stranger from South America,
but you haven't spoken to your next door neighbour yet this year.
- You buy a computer and a week later it is out of date.
- Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do
not have e-mail addresses. (Oh yes, there used to
be such people in the 90's...)
- You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.
- When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally insert a "9"
to get an outside line.
- You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three
different companies.
- You use words like "real time."
- Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose all your
best jokes.
- Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World
countries' annual budgets combined.
- It's dark when you drive to and from work, even in the summer.
- You see a good looking, smart person and you know it must be a
visitor.
- Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in
hospital.
- Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with
computers".
- The only reason you recognise your kids is because their pictures
are on your desk.
- You read this entire list, kept nodding and smiling.
- As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your
"mates you send jokes to" e-mail group.
