Once again I’m grateful to Mr D. – otherwise known as Dennis DeSimone for the following bit of light heartedness in the day!
Have these signs of the nineties happened to you?
- You try to enter your password on the microwave.
- You haven’t played patience with real cards in years.
- You always call playing patience “solitaire”.
- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
- You e-mail your friend who works at the desk next to you.
- 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.
- Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses.
- You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
- When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
- When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial 9 for an outside line.
- You’ve sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
- Your company’s welcome sign is attached with Velcro.
- You have your CV on a floppy disk.
- It’s dark when you drive to and from work, even in the summer.
- Annual leave is something you roll over to next year.
- Every week another brown collection envelope comes around because someone you didn’t even know worked there is leaving.
- Your relatives and family describe your job as “works with computers.”
