15 years ago ...

A program was ... a television show

An application was ... meant for employment

Windows were ... something you hated to clean

A keyboard was ... a piano

Memory was ... something you lost with age

A CD was ... a bank account

A hard drive was ... a long trip on the road

Log on was ... adding wood to a fire

A mouse pad was ... where a mouse lived

A web was ... a spider's home

And a virus was ... flu

the last evacuation drill ...

XYZ Office  -> A fire alarm rang at 5 PM when almost all employees were in office. As usual, the entire office staff was evacuated within 3mins &  every employee gathered outside office. 10 mins passed..................................5  more mins passed.. then a Security Officer appeared.
 
 
Security Officer ->  Announcement started, "Dear Employees, With melting heart I am making this announcement  that for many of you this maybe the last evacuation drill as we are  laying off almost 80% of the employees. While moving in who-so-ever's ID card doesn't work they have been laid off & all their belongings will be couriered to them tomorrow. We followed this approach as we didn't want to fill mailbox with layoff mail in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside office. Hope you have a nice career ahead. Please move in & try your luck.
