This was posted to me a few years ago… I posted it a little over 3 years ago. I felt like reposting it while I’m working on a more ‘researched’ post.

You know you’re living in the modern age 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 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

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

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial “8” 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. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. 🙂

17. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

So, everyone (faerievixen21_wolfsong — others) have been doing the where were you X years ago meme.

I looked at 20 years ago and realized, “#&@*! I’m already out of High School”

So I took it back to 30.

I also tried to put myself in the mindset of where I was.

So… Sherman.. set the WABAC Machine… for the year

I’ve been seeing a few people do this, so I thought I’d give it a whirl.

Thanks to faerievixen2 who did this most recently.

Looking back on this day in Andrei history:

First off, thanks to all the well wishers and dinner participants (and those that supped with us in spirit due to very heavy conflicts)

For the record, due to moving and 13 x 3 wobbles, shifts, and tilts… I am not solar conjunct until 2pm(P)/5pm(E). This is amusing since I was born at 5:16 am (E).

This look back is snarfed from posts from oncehadwings and faerievixen2

What did I post today?
1998: A back dated entry that is now private for administrivia.
(Journal started 2001.10.18)
2002: I note that 33 are down and X remain. Then I comment that I am a yoink for pulling an all-nighter.
2003: I take an astrological approach to the day (and currently note broken image links) and comment that more automated services have mailed me than I’d prefer.
2004: shimmeringjemmy is sick, the story of Benihana and Poker.
2005: The amazing paradox. I don’t get to age in 2005.
2006: Be careful what you wish for in 2003. MANY regards this day. 🙂
2007: Well besides this… we shall see.

Oh, I feel old.

Thanks to jessicamelusine I am now reminded that:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted… 10 years ago today.

Age check. Who feels just an ounce older.
