    You know you work in the 21st century (and you'd better get a life) when...

    21. Cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.

    20. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have email addresses. Conversely, the only way you keep in touch with your family is by email.

    18. You have a "to do list" that includes entries for lunch and bathroom breaks and they are the only ones that get crossed off.

    12. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored post-it notes.

    11. Your grocery list has been on your refrigerator so long some of the products don't even exist anymore (who else remembers Tang?).

    9. You get all excited when it's Saturday so you can wear sweats to work.

    8. You refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables.

    7. You find you really need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living.

    6. You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.

    5. You think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a project" are acceptable English phrases.

    4. You know the people at the airport hotels better than your next door neighbors.

    3. You ask your friends to "think out of the box" when making Friday night plans.

    Very good Jim. I saw this cartoon. It shows a couple in bed. There is a night stand on each side of the bed with a computer on each, and the couple is e-mailing each other, back and forth. One I would like to add: you hire someone to shovel the snow out of the drive way, so you can get to your health club to get some exercise.
