You know you need a break when...
-
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.
16. You remember this list from five years ago.

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.

...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..."

... you find yourself staring at the keyboard not knowing what to do next.

... you try to point your mouse to click on the paper calendar hanging on the wall beside your monitor. (I've done this three times in as many months.)

You start wondering why the menu at the resturant doesn't have any cool flyouts, and nothing happens when you click on the items

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";
Several times I have tried to ctrl-s things, like writing on paper or after fixing some stuff, that was awkward. Oh and I almoast always try to ctrl-s anything while typing like posts on forum, and then I realize that I'm saving the site not my text.

You know you need a break when... I have a bunch of sticky notes stuck around the bezel of my LCD monitors here at work. One of them had our company's mailing address written on it. I tried twice to move my mouse pointer onto the sticky note so I could copy/paste it when I realized what I was attempting was impossible! :doh:
