At an interview for a job with a large company, a woman asked if the firm had a fitness programme. "Our employees don't need one," smiled the human resources manager. "They are routinely jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, beating around the bush, running down the boss, going around in circles, dragging their feet, dodging responsibility, passing the buck, pulling strings, throwing their weight around, stretching the truth, bending the rules, stabbing others in the back and pushing their luck!" Signs That You're Living and Working in the Noughties You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job. You try to enter your password on the microwave. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. You email your colleague who works at the next desk to you. When your computer crashed, your biggest loss was your collection of jokes. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have email addresses. When you make phone calls from home, you automatically insert a "9" to get an outside line. To qualify for sick leave, you must be at least in traction.
