Found this list(101 ways to know your software project is doomed) while surfing this morning. My favorites:
6. Your source code control system is a series of folders on a shared drive

I have seen this a LOT of times. I did this once. We do not know version control then. The last time I saw this I installed a SVN server.

9. You start considering a new job so you don’t have to maintain the application you are building

I experienced this twice. The second time I resigned. The hassle is not worth it. I have more important things to do.

12.Your team still gives a crap about its CMM Level

Good thing they never made me do those documents.

38.FrontPage is your web page editor of choice

I still like the color of the html editor Visual Interdev over Frontpage. I  never used the designer view of FrontPage. It generates bad HTML.

44.All debugging occurs on the live server

I did some debugging on the live server. :)

58.Management can not understand why anyone needs more than a single monitor

At least they never asked why we have Elsa Gladiac(GeForce 2) on our machines. Hehehe.. :p

65.Now it physically pains you to say the word - Yes

There was this time that I got scared everytime I hear my office phone rings.

75.You bring beer to the office during your 2nd shift

Hehehe…
83.You start wondering if working 2 shifts at Pizza Hut is a better career alternative

I did think of having an isaw stall.

92.Your manager substitutes professional consultant advice for a Magic 8 Ball

To CRS team: We never used the magic 8 ball for registration decisions right?

99.You are using MOSS 2007(Sharepoint Server)

I have no love for Sharepoint. Its hard to configure and its freaking slow.
