computers".

That is hilarious and soooo true, especially the last part! :)

17. Free food left over from meetings is your staple

Oh man was that true at my last job! Those fools spent a whopper on catered lunches for everything! We bitched about it plenty in the Acct. dept but still managed to fend off the Engineers for the leftovers! :p

A few years back, my mother-in law (90 yrs old then), came to visit for a few weeks. Every morning, her breakfast was the same - instant oatmeal. One morning I got up about an hour later than she did. When I went into the kitchen for coffee, she was sitting there waiting for me (for an hour) because she couldn't remember how to work the microwave to heat the water. I said,
"mom, why didn't you just heat the water in a pot on the stove?". She said,
"oh yeah, I forgot about that." :(

31) Your 3-year old daughter knows more "dot-com" sites than you do . . .:confused:
32) Your 6-year old son teaches his grampa how to run the new computer (and he can also kick your butt at Motocross Madness!)
