Life in 2002

These are so true... enjoy!  In today's working world....


1. You have 5 passwords, but can only remember one.


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 three.


4. You e-mail your buddy who works at the desk next to you.


5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not

have e-mail addresses.


6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone

in a business manner.


7. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.


8. Your biggest loss from a system crash was when you lost all of your

best jokes.


9. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job.


10. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get

long-service awards.


11. Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World countries

annual budgets combined.


12. Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet.


13. Your supervisor gets a brand-new state-of-the-art laptop with all

the latest features, while you have time to go for lunch while yours

boots up.


14. There's no money in the budget for the five permanent staff your

department desperately needs, but they can afford four full-time

management consultants advising your boss's boss on strategy.


15. Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with

computers".


AND THE CLINCHERS ARE..


16. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

17. You see people at work more than your family.


18. Your job stinks and you know it.
