2006 Story Set
| Date: October 1, 2006 Someone forwarded this to me. Too Funny! You know you are living in 2006 when .............. 1. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. Well, I would if anyone lived with me. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. Not quite - John and I played for hours at the Cancer Center. Now, I cannot play at all. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. I have three to reach my remaining family of one. Same thing. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. Daily. Or over the cube. Or 5 minutes before the meeting where you will see them. And you use internet shorthand in email - and get complained to for using it. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. Or don't answer my email. This is so very, very true! 6. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. Not yet. But I have put the remote control in the freezer. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. Except PBS. I hide there. 8. 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. And you carry spare cell phone chargers in your purse and have one for the car. Just in case. Before a long trip, you arrange coffee, your wallet (for gas) and your cell phone in easy reach. You clip it to your bra strap (or the equivalent) when doing yard work or shopping. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. Every day! But then, most writers do that. So do contractors (like tech writers). 11. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. Yes! LOL! 12. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. Already did that. And am planning to post it. 13. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 14. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself. Attributed to: Tom Gardner QAE Northrup Grumman Whoever he may be. LOL |
