working in the 21st century

You know you're working in the 21st century when...

  • You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
  • You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
  • You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your 3 colleagues.
  • You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
  • Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
  • 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" to get an outside line.
  • You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
  • You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.
  • Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
  • Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.
