Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Bill I remember stamps for sugar, gas, tires, shoes, and meat. Pork cutlets were the cheapest priced meat and took the least amount of stamps so we ate lots of pork cutlets plus the chickens mom raised. Used to stand in the bread line for mom to buy 10cent a loaf bread. I was raised in KC, MO and our school would have paper drives and used grease drives. The class room that collected the most got to have a special party. I was in the first grade when Pearl Harbor was bombed.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 I'll bet that most of us can score pretty high on both this set of questions as well as the " old timer's " questions that went around a few days ago. You know you're living in the 02's when: 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. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally insert a " 9 " to get an outside line. 8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 9. Your company's welcome sign is attached with Velcro. 10. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket. 11. You can only write on 'sticky pads'. 12. Your biggest loss from a system crash was when you lost all of your best jokes. 13. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job. 14. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards. 15. Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World countries annual budgets combined. 16. Interviewees, despite not having relevant knowledge or experience, terminate the interview when told of the starting salary. 17. Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet. 18. 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. 19. Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in hospital. 20. 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. 21. Your relatives and family describe your job as " works with computers. " AND THE CLINCHERS ARE. 22. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling. 23. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your " friends. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
