1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.<\/p>\n
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.<\/p>\n
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.<\/p>\n
3.5. You don’t have a list of phone numbers, because they’re all stored on your cell phone.<\/p>\n
4. You e-mail your friend who works at the desk next to you.<\/p>\n
4.5. You forward an e-mail to your wife via your wireless laptop, who is sitting next to you working at her wireless laptop.<\/p>\n
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses.<\/p>\n
6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.<\/p>\n
6.5. You work at home, and answer your home phone in a business manner between 8 and 5.<\/p>\n
7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial “9” to get an outside line.<\/p>\n
8. You’ve sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.<\/p>\n
10. You learn you’ve been laid off on the 11 o’clock news.<\/p>\n
11. Your boss doesn’t have the ability to do your job.<\/p>\n
12. Contractors outnumber permanent staff at your office and are more likely to get long-service awards.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.<\/p>\n
14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your “friends.”<\/p>\n
15. You got this e-mail from a friend that never talks to you any more, except to send you jokes from the Net.<\/p>\n
16. You are too busy to notice there was no #9.<\/p>\n
16.5. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9.<\/p>\n
