Humor in the Workplace

by Azriela Jaffe


The top 10 sign you've had too much of the 90's:
  1. You get all excited when it's Saturday and you can wear sweats to work.
  2. You refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables.
  3. You find you really need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living.
  4. You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.
  5. You think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a project" are acceptable English phrases.
  6. You know the people at the airport hotels better than you know your next door neighbors.
  7. You ask your friends to "think out of the box" when making Friday night plans.
  8. You think Einstein would have been more effective had he put his ideas into a matrix.
  9. You think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock.
And the number 1 sign you've had too much of the 90's:
  1. You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.
