You start counting moose instead of sheep to fall asleep at night.

My biggest give aways that I spend too much time on the computer are:
When the laundry room is so full of dirty clothes the door won't open!
When it is almost time for my husband to come home and I am still in my pj's!
When in normal conversation when I want to convey that something is amusing, I say., "LOL!" (now that is embarrassing!)
And last but not least, when someone calls and asks what I am doing and I answer, "I am freeping!" They have no idea what I am talking about of course!

When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...

I do that anyway... of course, I'm an engineer...

Instead of laughing at a joke you shout, "LOL!"

After a snide remark to your wife, you turn your head sideways and wink.

You must be as old as I am. I wrote programs like that about 20 - 25 years ago. Good old BASIC.

You write a vile letter to an ex-beau and add (/sarcasm off) at the end.

When you are reading a book and look for the scroll bar to get to the next page.

Several times, when I've stuck a Post-It note onto my screen so I won't forget something, I've found it blocking my view of something on the screen I wanted to see, so... I try to drag-and-drop it elsewhere with my mouse pointer.

I'll get it to work one of these days.

I usually keep my post-its propped up in back my keyboard.

That way they don't interfere with my screen.

When you start to look for surveys to fill out.

When you're always saying "This POS is too damn slow"!

When the last addictive game you have is now boring.

When you keep checking FR every 5 minutes for something new and interesting. At 3 AM

When you check your email every 5 minutes.

When you run in from work right past your naked spouse and start the comp go back and service your spouse just in time for the comp to stop loading.

Well 'fess up. What's your average? 10-15 hours per day? Or more?
