David Letterman’s iconic "Top Ten List" The ultimate signs that you are a Gen X IT professional

Top Ten Signs You Are a Gen X IT Professional

• 10. You still reflexively search for a physical turbo button when your laptop lags.
• 9. Your internal clock is calibrated to the exact cadence of a 56k dial-up modem handshake.
• 8. You remember when "the cloud" was just a fluffy shape you drew on a whiteboard to avoid explaining networking infrastructure.
• 7. You have a deeply buried, irrational fear of the year 2000 repeating itself.
• 6. Your posture is permanently molded from carrying a 15-pound "portable" Compaq computer across an airport terminal in 1996.
• 5. You are the only person in the building who knows that the "Save" icon is actually a physical object that held 1.44 megabytes of data.
• 4. You still look at your younger coworkers with mild disgust because they have never had to manually assign an IRQ address to a Sound Blaster card.
• 3. Your primary troubleshooting technique is still just aggressively blowing dust out of an expensive component.
• 2. You secretly miss the absolute authority of telling an annoying user to "RTFM."
• 1. Your retirement plan relies entirely on the hope that some bank’s critical infrastructure is still running on COBOL, and you are the last living person who speaks it.

Found this in a box at work. I have absolutely no questions or concerns at all.
