YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF COLLEGE TOO LONG WHEN... ~ Your potted plants stay alive. ~ 6:00 a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to sleep. ~ You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work. ~ You carry an umbrella. ~ You watch the Weather Channel. ~ Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook-up and break-up. ~ You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7. ~ Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." ~ You're the one calling the police because those kids next door don't know how to turn down the stereo. ~ You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. ~ Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. ~ You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's. ~ Sleeping on the couch is a no-no. ~ You no longer take naps from noon to 6:00 p.m. ~ Dinner and a movie: The *whole* date instead of the beginning of one. ~ MTV News is no longer your primary source of information. ~ You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time. ~ Grocery lists are longer than macaroni & cheese, Diet Pepsi, and Ho-Ho's. ~ Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
