You Know You're Working Too Much When...

Working_in_bed

  1. You can't remember the last time you ate, but you have vague recollections of peanut butter and some stale crackers you found in the back of your desk drawer.

  2. You can't remember the last time you slept a full eight hours, but... nope, you just can't remember.

  3. You're so used to talking to your significant other by phone that you start calling random people "Honey" on your business line.

  4. Your favorite thing about Sunday is that the phones at the office stop ringing.

  5. Your least favorite thing about Monday is that you have to start sharing the fridge again.

  6. The weekend routines of your office cleaning staff are programmed into your calendar.

  7. You're spending so much time at work that your family starts scheduling appointments.

  8. You have ten weeks of TV shows on your DVR that you've been saving to watch "when you have the time."

  9. The business contacts in your address book outnumber the personal contacts by at least thirty to one.

  10. Your primary annoyance over project assignments is that they're taking so much time away from your other project assignments.

Well gee em! sounds like you and significant other need a holiday! *grin*

Downunder might be nice huh?

*smirk*

hehehe

Funny post and yes... even I relate to some of that despite not having a 9 to 5 "office" job! ;)

mitch

EM:

Lol. I don't have a 9 to 5 anymore either, but I was on a roll...

I would LOVE a vacation, and "downunder" would be fantastic! I'll have to work on that!
