YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER FOR TOO LONG...

[Liz]

When asked about a train schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.

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

When you dream in 256 palettes of 256 colors.

When your spouse says "If you don't turn off that damn machine and come to bed, then I am going to divorce you!" and you chastise her/him for omitting the "else" clause.

You try to sleep, and think sleep (8 * 3600); /* sleep for 8 hours /

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

When after fooling around all day with routers etc., you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number and hummmmm to imitate a modem... and you succeed...

When you get in the elevator and double-click the button for the floor you want.

When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one.

When you look for a icon to double-click to open your bedroom window.

When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal.

When you look for a trash can icon for throwing out garbage.

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...

[rudypoot]

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

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

ROTHLMCO. Good ones.

[Liz]

Better you should be FReeping than anythig else.

Laundry? Let him go buy clean stuff.

[Steve0113]

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

[rudypoot]

"ROTHLMCO."

Rolling on the Hardwood, Laughing My Cheeks Off??????? Did i get that right?

[Chad Fairbanks]

If (blnTooMuchTimeOnComputer = True) Then (blnWifeGetsPissed = True)

[Liz]

....laughing my "Clymer" off.....and no, I won't explain.
If you don't know by now, you never will.

[Liz]

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

[Liz]

...........laugh break............

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.

[Mudboy Slim]

I've never been on the 'puter long enuff...MUD

[Liz]

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

That way they don't interfere with my screen.

[jwh_Denver]

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.

[Liz]

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

[Liz]

I just hope for your sake you were loading Free Republic.
