...you are staring at the reflection of your monitor in the window and wondering to yourself "I wonder how much extra processing power goes into updating the image in the window at the same time as the screen. And there's almost zero lag..."

Worse yet, when that actually works! Come to think of it, I believe there's a desktop theme that uses a fly or bee or some sort of bug for a cursor. That might just do it... Great, now I'll be up all night waiting for a fly. :doh:

... you see a person and you think about right-clicking on them to get their properties (name, age, etc)... or maybe deleting/renaming them ...

I was in Win 7 this morning, and I didn't have Forecastfox installed in FF. I needed to know what the weather was like, and I considered installing Forecastfox... until I remembered I could just go look out the window. :|

I agree with that. If you empty a case you really should take a break... ...oh wait, you are taklking about wine? :-\

I've experienced everything from that list: You know you need a break when... ...search for backspace when you write on a paper, since you don't have one, put // (or /* ... */ if multiline) to tell the reader that this part should be ignored; ...when closing the window in a room, look its upper-right corner for "X"; ...when watching TV try to pause it when you are going to WC; ...you don't calculate 2 power of 32, you just know the result; ...you write your shopping list in a XML; ...you start using "true" and "false", instead of "yes" or "no";

1. You accidentally enter your pin on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses... 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10... You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) 12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

...You have a twelve piece collection of sporks with a King Edward silverware pattern. ...You sob uncontrollably at the end of power point presentations and technical manuals. ...You've started a fantasy sports league involving Near Earth Object misses. ...You think it would be a good idea if Long John Silvers would carry fugu so you could try their take on it. ...You've seriously thought about robbing a 7-11 and getting caught to avoid having to sit through another corporate retreat. ...Pranks at work are only stopped at first blood. ...Upon getting a new employee handbook from HR you suggest to the director that "you know where he lives". ...You think Karōshi is Japanese for "Lucky Stiff". ...You keep checking your email while hitting on someone in a bar. ...You've rigged your computer to give you a small electrical shock whenever you skip a meeting, and you find yourself leaning into it. ...You go antiquing at Radio Shack over lunch. Every lunch. Same Radio Shack.

you think of hitting ctrl-alt to break out of a day dream... (this has actualy happened to me several times while driving!)
I occasionally sing when I drive (unaccompanied by the radio) - and I've reached to change the radio station. :wtf:

Sorry, I actualy meant the exclamation to emphasise that it actually happened, and I mentioned driving as it’s the only time where I would accept being taken out of a day dream. I have also been known to sing, change CD tracks and carve little ducks out of pickled onions while driving.
