You know you're living in 2005 when... <br /> <br />1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. <br /> <br />2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. <br /> <br />3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. <br /> <br />4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. <br /> <br />5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. <br /> <br />6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner. <br /> <br />7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" to get an outside line. <br /> <br />8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. <br /> <br />10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.! <br /> <br />11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job. <br /> <br />12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. <br /> <br />13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />15. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee. <br /> <br />16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :) <br /> <br />17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. <br /> <br />18. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. <br /> <br />19. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list! Come on, you know you did. :D <br /><br />AND NOW YOU 'RE LAUGHING at yourself. :D

hahahahh<br /> o god how true. even the 9 thing. only I dont have a cell or a pager. I get bothered enough without it. I am also a dinosaur in the fact I can let the phone ring and not answer it if I am busy.<br /> the important ones know where I live if they really need me :) <br /> I also still have the rotary phone that my grandad got in 1955 :)

I fell for #9 also. I'm like rodbolt, I don't answer the phone at all. Its never for me. I've still got an old rotary phone from the sixties, the only problem with rotaries is they don't work with retrieving messages on the on-call pager.
