    You know you're living in 2004 when...

    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 three.

    4. You email your mate who works at the desk next to you.

    5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have email 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 dial "0" or "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. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.


    And the real clinchers are...


    13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

    14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends".

    15. You got this email from a friend that never talks to you any more,
    except to send you jokes from the net.

    16. You are too busy to notice there was no No.9

    17. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a No.9

    18. And now you're laughing inwardly for just making a fool of yourself.

    3. Yep, yep and yep
    6. I've been known to do that
    7. Everyday, I now have to think of dialing a number from work in order to remember the number.

      Yeah, I've answered my cell phone with "Munitions Control, Airman Bregman speaking, how may I help you?"


      That really freaks me out...

      You forgot: You have to specify which phone number you give out: Cell, Land Line, Office, etc.

      Maybe it was #9? LOL
