I really wanted to post a reply in that thread, so decided to start a fresh one

I Know I've Been Using My Computer Too Much When...

I touch my computer CPU at the back, and it burns my finger.

I sleep at 3AM on a working day, and wake up at 8:50PM, theres 10 minutes left to go to college, when I turn on my PC and start replying to WebmasterWorld posts. :)

I spend 24 hours on the computer, decide have a walk, when I go out, all I see is Tom and Jerry running around. I turn on my TV and see that there actually a cerfew outside due to the big Tom vs. Jerry extravaganza!

I apply for a job as a CTO of a company, except, when I disconnect and check my answering machine, the guy says the following:
sorry, you have been rejected, We were trying to contact you since the last 24 hours, but you appeared to be on the Internet. Which really p**sed the CEO off; otherwise you might have been excepted.

(I know those were lame, but hey ;))

My eyes hurt in direct sunlight.

No. Really, I have to wear my shades on cloudy days...

When trying to use games' cheat codes in real life

I thought it was just me who had these weird thoughts. A couple of times I have actually looked for the undo button in real life. When I tell my partner about these things he looks at me as if I am completely mad.

Also, too much minesweeper results in imaginary games going on in my head when I'm trying to get to sleep.

Is this normal?

Helen.

When sitting in a bar w/ your laptop, and everytime you keep hitting mute on the keyboard you wonder why the music doesn't shut up.

When sitting in a karoke bar desperately trying to make winamp stop playing, but for some reason you can't control the sim on the stage.

I'm too used to scribbling on my Palm; I've started writing all the letters on a piece of paper in the same place.

Well.. I am beginning to feel the odd one out here ;)

Living in an apartment building can sometimes make you desparate for a wall hack.

This is no joke, I'm starting to get worried.

Last night I went with my girlfriend to a restaurant; when I opened the menu the first thing I thought was on clicking at the top of the prices and sort them ascendent... is it so bad? has this ever happended to anyone. Please don't tell me I'm alone!

"select * from menu order by menu_prices asc"

I was playing No One Lives Forever so much for a while that one time when driving I wanted to read something in the distance, and tried to put my eyeglasses into "zoom" mode.

"select * from menu order by menu_prices asc"

I wish that was possible with Chinese food menus. :)

When I find some interesting sites in the Open Directory and it takes me a few minutes to realize I added them, and I'm the named editor for the category.

Living in an apartment building can sometimes make you desparate for a wall hack.

Or a rocket launcher.

-The middle cushion on my (fairly new) couch where I sit and work has a permanant imprint of my butt cheeks. As a result, nobody else can sit there comfortably.

-My contact prescription increses twice a year!

(I'm pretty sure I'm developing some kind of social disorders too.)
