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 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 e-mail 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 "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

4. AND SHE ACTUALLY DOES IT

 

5. YOU ASK HER TO PICK YOU UP FROM WORK WHICH TAKES YOU 5 MINS TO WALK AND TAKES HER 15MINS TO GET THERE AND BACK

life in 2003

 

Fitter, happier, more productive

Comfortable

Not drinking too much

Regular exercise at the gym

(3 days a week)

Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries

At ease

Eating well

(No more microwave dinners and saturated fats)

A patient better driver

A safer car

(Baby smiling in back seat)

Sleeping well

(No bad dreams)

No paranoia

Careful to all animals

(Never washing spiders down the plughole)

Keep in contact with old friends

(Enjoy a drink now and then)

Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall)

Favours for favours

Fond but not in love

Charity standing orders

On Sundays ring road supermarket

(No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)

Car wash

(Also on Sundays)

No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows

Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

Nothing so childish - at a better pace

Slower and more calculated

No chance of escape

Now self-employed

Concerned (but powerless)

An empowered and informed member of society

(Pragmatism not idealism)

Will not cry in public

Less chance of illness

Tires that grip in the wet

(Shot of baby strapped in back seat)

A good memory

Still cries at a good film

Still kisses with saliva

No longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick

That's driven into frozen winter [censored]

(The ability to laugh at weakness)

Calm

Fitter

Healthier and more productive

A pig in a cage on antibiotics
