YOU KNOW YOU WORK IN THE '90s WHEN . . .
15. Cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of
the back seat of your car.
14. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not
have e-mail addresses.
13. You have a "to-do list" that includes entries for lunch and bathroom
breaks, and they are usually the ones that never get crossed off.
12. You have actually faxed your Christmas list to your family.
11. You consider 2nd day Air Delivery and Inner-office Mail painfully
slow.
10. You refer to your dining room table as the flat filing cabinet.
9. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored post-it notes.
8. Your grocery list has been on your refrigerator so long some of the
products don't even exist anymore.
7. You lecture the neighborhood kids selling lemonade on ways to improve
their process.
6. You get all excited when it's Saturday so you can wear sweats to
work.
5. You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive
restaurant in town within the same week.
4. You think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a
project" are acceptable English phrases.
3. You know the people at the airport hotels better than your next-door
neighbors.
2. You ask your friends to "think out of the box" when making Friday
night plans.
And, the number one sign you work in the nineties:
1. You think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock.
