I know someone did a late 80's, early 90's thread, but this is for the rest of us
You try to enter your password on the microwave.
You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
You e-mail your buddy who works at the desk next to you to ask: "Do you wanna go get a beer?" and he replies: "Yeah, give me five minutes."
You chat several times a day with a stranger from South America, but you haven't spoken to your next door neighbor yet this year.
Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses.
Your idea of being organized is multiple colored post-it notes.
You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.
When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
When you make phone calls from home,you accidentally insert "9" to get an outside line.
Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
You really get excited about a 1.7% pay rise.
You know exactly how many days you've got left until you retire.
You see a good looking, smart person and you know it must be a > visitor.
Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet.
Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in the hospital.
You're already late on the assignment you just got.
Your bosses favorite lines are:
a. When you've got a few minutes...
b. Could you fit this in...?
c. In your spare time ... when you've got a moment I know > you're busy but..
d. I have an opportunity for you
Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with computers."
You only have makeup for fluorescent lighting.
You read this entire list and you kept nodding and smiling.

How is this for teens? All the questions are aimed at adults - work meetings, boss, beer, resume, retirement.

Am I missing something?

Course not.

You e-mail your buddy who works at the desk next to you to ask: "Do you wanna go get a beer?" and he replies: "Yeah, give me five minutes."

Well.... school. Like.....everyday.

You chat several times a day with a stranger from South America, but you haven't spoken to your next door neighbor yet this year.

Yeah, usually. Not South America though. I like to stay on the same continent.

You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.

Yup

Really though, I remember more things from the late 80's/early 90's one which is weird, cause I was only 4 or 5 then. Hm

This may be nick-picky, but if you're a CHILD of the late 90s, what are you doing wuth beer? And what about CHILD LABOR LAWS?
