You Know You're From 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 and you still answer the phone in a business-like manner

7. You make phone calls from home and 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.

I hope this redeems me, after that Napoleon Dynamite joke...

You definitely got me on #19... and #20. And also, if you IM your college roommates... while they're in the room.

There IS a number nine. You're missing the whole point. It's absence is making a statement which makes it present.


Just kidding.

That's fully true. I used Yahoo! messenger to communicate with my sister in the next room yesterday. Welcome to the Information Age, people... where you can sit on your lazy butt all day and still have a social life, a career, and a pizza.

I didn't notice #9 missing until you told me - and yes I did scroll back up to see.

Lol. That's so funny! :-) So many times I've found that it's easier to make up after a fight with my sister on AOL Instant Messanger than in person. :-P
