you know your ___________ when...

We have all read them; "You know you grew up in the 80s when...", "You know you came from a small town if...", "You know you're a redneck if...". I pretty sure we've all experienced at least one that resonated deep within our souls. The one that always gets me is "you know you're a child of the 90s if had stirrups on your pants." I actually wore nothing but stirrup pants for a couple of years during the 90s! Sick, I know.

I have a new one today: You know you're important when...

I would love to hear some responses to this.

My response (and what prompted this whole paragraph): You know you're important when your boss's boss has your cellphone programmed into his speed dial as your boss's office.
