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 email 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 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 and go 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 YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself. :-)

Alex,

That list it really funny and hits close to home. I just recently went back to the office after working from home for four weeks. The coffee and the email, well, been there done that. I can also remember part numbers for the almost 2000 castings we make at work but don't have any idea what my cell phone number is, or my wife's.

Thanks for the chuckle.
