||Humour|| You know you're in 2005 when...

Got this as a forward from a friend.
--

You know you're living in 2005 when ...

1. You sit in front of the computer all day in office and still come home and do the same!

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 9 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 "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. 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 to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go on-line 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 U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Go on, forward this to your friends ...you know you want to!

    21. You remember already having read this list LAST year and kick yourself for being stupid enough to look for that no # 9 again.

    Heh, did you forward to me last year as well? If you did, then, add this:-

    22. You read this list for the better part of the 2000's, and you still keep sharing it, albeit in newer media.

    That's also the reason I don't get girls.

    No! Not you. The allusion to this space being a hard-shelled long-living amphibian was kind of rude. But he never does care much for appearances and semantics and grammar in general.

    No! Not youThat is also a reason I don't get girls; seem to take everything personally, looks like.

    Then again, it is true that I didn't update my blog lately even after promising to do so, so Kiran has a point yes. In any case, everyone knows that the Mauremys mutica always wins, so this definitely is not the Achilles' Heel we dost talketh about.

    OMG! I just found out tortoises are not amphibian. No wonder that poor thing was floating belly up in our tank (where we'd released it). God! I wish there was the internet way back in 1989.
