Where were you 20 years ago? - bonus points if you have pics!

I was in the Coventry Psychiatric Ward

I can't believe how quickly those 20 years have gone!

Here is a picture of it being demolished a few years after I was there (it has since been rebuilt):

19... Not a good time. Things were falling apart. I was living on my own(as in not having roommates, just me and pets), and I really hated it.

I find I need to live with other adults.

Can't remember exactly. Most likely, I was in the bathroom.

What for?

 

[Secret Chief]

I was in a house I lived in for over 30 years and working in an office that I worked in for 18 years. Exciting huh?

My daughter's high school graduation.

18 years! That's a hell of a shift. I hope you got overtime?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

I was 23 and in college. I was only a year into dating the person who would become my life partner.

The bathroom breaks must've been epic...

The bathroom breaks must've been epic...

I'd hate to be in line for that, though...

 

[Stevicus]

What for?

Don't recall exactly. Probably throwing up.

Nah, we were on flexitime. (You got that in the US?)

 

[JustGeorge]

Were you pregnant?

 

[JustGeorge]

Nope.

What's that?

 

[Stevicus]

Were you pregnant?

I'm certain that I was not pregnant.

 

[Kathryn]

I was 42 and living in Texas and working. It was right before I met my late husband. I am pretty sure I was working in real estate at the time.

 

[Secret Chief]

Nope.

What's that?

eg 35 hour per week contract.

You can arrive and depart when you want, within boundaries eg 7.30 to 9.30 for start, 3.30 to 5.30 for finish. You clock in and off electronically.

You can go into deficit or credit by up to (eg) 14 hours and can take "flexi days" off (taking you down by 7 or 14 hours).

20 years ago I had one of these, a Siemens A50, and I knew two people who had the exact same phone!

It had a balloon bursting game on it

I didn't break down and get one until a year or so later.

That's kinda cool.

My job was 'be here at this time, or else'. And, I guess it had to be that way.
