...You are writing an email and you find yourself ending sentences with semi-colons ...You hit Ctrl-Shift-B after completing the email instead of Ctrl+Return ...You keep hitting tab and wonder why your words aren't autocompleting ...You find yourself trying to check if you're under Debug or Release before sending the email ...You realise the person reading the email is using a Mac and you get worried about whether they will be able to read your email. And you know I wish I was joking here. Jetlag and long nights are a killer. Anyone got any more?

Guilty! Especially the semi-colons. I had to do some maintenance work on an old VB project the other day and I couldn't stop myself doing it. By the time I'd 're-logiced' myself so I could even use VB again and done the fixes, I reckon I could have recoded it all in C# anyway.

...you feel frustrated because you can't set a breakpoint at the moment when your pizza is cooked to perfection. ...you repeatedly try and fail to Copy & Paste real world objects. ...right clicking on the trash doesn't enable you to make it disappear, this just seems wrong somehow. ...you feel horrified when you realize that there's no automated way to search for your car keys. In fact there's no way to be 100% sure whether you've lost them permanently or just misfiled them, even *keys* doesn't work, aaaaaargh :omg:
