signs of the times...

I got this forward from a friend in south africa who i hardly ever keep in touch with... guess life's just as crazy no matter what side of the hemisphere you're living in.

You know you're living in 2004 when... ..

1 You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2 You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3 You have a list of 16 phone numbers to reach your family of four

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

5 Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't 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 dial " 0 " to get an outside line.

8 You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10 You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news .

11 Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12 Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards. AND..............

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

14 As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends."

15 You got this email from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.

16 You are too busy to notice there was no #9

17 You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9

18 AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

WOW... recognize yourself???????

i'm just scribbling this quickly between work and work... i don't know what's up this weekend... benifit concert for the Bridge @ Emmanuel promises to be excellent. ALSO on Sat Nov. 6,from 8pm-12am: If you like to listen/dance to the big band music of the 30s and 40s, then you should come to the Big Band Dance. The U of S Jazz Bands will be providing the music; D'reers will be catering and there will be a cash bar. Its at the Manhattan Ballroom (10 minutes outside of the city heading east on College Drive). Tickets are $12 for students and $15 for adults. You can buy them at St. John's Music, McNally-Robinson, Presto Musique or the Department of Music office.

shalom,
Car
