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 and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You go home after long days at work you still answer the phone in a
business manner.
7. 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. 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 U R LAUGHING at yourself.
Go on, forward this to your friends ...you know you want to!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I think I'll do both!

good stuff jim!
i liked the one about hearing you have been made redundant on the 11 o'clock news....
but i can beat that!....i read a story over here (the uk) where a company sacked their staff by text message!...unbelievable! they got some very bad press coverage for being so inconsiderate...i remember the headline:
"u r fired!"
it's a strange world we live in!

Hey Chris,
Today I heard about a lady whose battery went dead in her key remote for her car.
She stood out in the rain for at least 5 minutes before she realized she could unlock her car with the key manually.
I guess it had been a while since she had used her key instead of the remote.

21. When you arrive at your front door you click your car key at it, forgetting that you have a real key for the front door.
22. You go to write someone's name and address down on a piece of paper and you get writer's cramp before you've finished two syllables because you've only typed in the last 6 months!
23. Your nephew believes that radio came in as a big technical advance on television and computers, because you can do other things while you're listening to it.

Jane,
These are funny. I've done number 21 a few times, too.
Also, when I was doing word processing, I would click the Home button, and then down arrow to go to the end of a document. After doing that all day at work, at the end of the day when I would go into the elevator to take it down to the ground floor, there was that part of me running on automatic that wanted to type onto the elevator key pad, Home, and then the down arrow to take me all the way down to the bottom floor to go home. Of course these buttons don't exist in the elevator. Talk about our brains being programmed.
