You know you work in corporate America in the 90's if:

	You've sat at the same desk for 4 years and worked for three different companies.
	Your company logo on the welcome sign is attached with Velcro.
	Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
	The company logo on your badge is drawn on a post-it note.
	When someone asks about what you do for a living, you lie.
	You get really excited about a 2% pay raise.
	You learn about your layoff on CNN.
	Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose your best jokes.
	Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job.
	You sit in a cubicle smaller than your bedroom closet.
	Salaries of the members on the Executive Board are higher than all the Third World countries' annual budgets combined.
	You think lunch is just a meeting to which you drive. (for execs)
	You think lunch is the two minutes you take to swallow your baloney sandwich whole while watching the next program load. (everyone else)
	It's dark when you drive to and from work.
	Fun is when issues are assigned to someone else.

	Art involves a white board.
	You're already late on the assignment you just got.
	When 100% of your time means 20 hours.
	You work 200 hours for the $50 bonus check (or the free movie ticket) and jubilantly say "Oh wow, thanks!"
	Dilbert cartoons hang outside every cube.
	Your boss' favorite lines are "when you get a few minutes", "in your spare time", "when you're freed up", and "I have an opportunity for you."
	Vacation is something you roll over to next year or a check you get every January.

	Nepotism is encouraged.
	The only reason you recognize your kids is because their pictures are hanging in your cube.
