What did you want to be?

From 10 years ago this weekend comes the 1999 Superbowl commercial for monster.com...



Both funny and sad back then, today the irony is unintended...

When I grow up
I want to file all day
I want to claw my way up to middle management
Be replaced on a whim
I want to have a brown nose
I want to be a yes man
Yes woman
Yes sir
Coming sir
Anything for a raise sir
When I grow up
When I grow up
I want to be under-appreciated
Be paid less for doing the same job
I want to be forced into early retirement

...because for lots of folks today, filing, being under-appreciated, even being paid less for doing the same job would be a step up.
