    You know you're living in 2004 when...

    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 e-mail 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 "0" 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. You pull up in your own driveway and use your mobile to see if anyone is home.

    13. Every ad on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

    14. Leaving the house without your mobile, 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.

    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 ARE LAUGHING AT YOURSELF!!!!

    Strong finish I thought.

          The only thing there that applied to me was not noticing that there was no #9 on the list, then when I got to the bottom I did laugh about that.

            I frequently dial a prefix at home to get an outside line
            I occasionaly answer as if I am at work.... although caller ID has reduced that.

                Well, these apply (more or less): 2, 3, 4,11,13,17
                And of course, 19 and 20 got me too...

                But 18... Well, it would be true, if this hadn't been posted before!
