     You know you've worked in the nineties if ...
      ---------------------------------------------------------------

     You've sat at the same desk for 4 years and
      worked for three different companies.

     Your company welcome sign is attached with
     Velcro.

     Your CV is on a diskette in your pocket.

     You get really excited about a 2% pay raise.

     You learn about your layoff on the 9 o'clock
     news.

     Your biggest loss from a system crash is that
     you lose your best jokes.

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

     Board members salaries are higher than all the
     Third World countries' annual budgets combined.

     It's dark when you go to and from work.

     Communication is something your group is having
     problems with.

     You see a good-looking person and know it is a
     visitor.

     Free food left over from meetings is your staple
     diet.

     Being sick is defined as can't walk or you're in
     the hospital.

     You're already late on the assignment you just
     got.

     Dilbert cartoons hang on every wall.

     Your boss' favorite lines are
          "when you get a few minutes",
          "in your spare time",
          "when you're freed up", and
          "I have an opportunity for you."

     Holiday is something you roll over to next year
     or a cheque you get every January.

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

     The only reason you recognize your kids is
     because you have their pictures on your desk.

     You read this entire list and understood it.
