2005
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 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.

Warrior, that list is hilarious. Did you write that? Do you mind if I repost it on another message board? It's too funny and accurate not to share with all my friends.

I think this has made the rounds in the past few years. Speaking of cell phones, who here does not have one and will not get one??
I had one for one year and I rarely used it. So I got rid of it and have never had nor really needed one since...

for four years I worked for four different places while at one job but as I stated i didn't have a desk.
The four companies I worked for were a temp agency. The original owners of the company who hired me from the temp agency. The people who bought out the original owners that hired me. And the people who bought the company from the people who bought out the original owners. The last company that owned the place I worked for were the ones who closed the place and move the factory elsewhere!
