Before we get started, I'll be doing a post on "DOS GAME CONFIGURATIONS"" soon. For those of you who have PMed me, I'm not ignoring you, I'm just collecting research and lookin' into a couple of experimental things I'm hoping will work... Peace.

Well gang, we covered the top ten for UNDER worked... it's time for OVER worked BIG TIME!


TOP TEN SIGNS YOU'RE OVER-WORKED!

* -sadly, I know most of these from previous experience (except 7... I swear!)

1. Anytime your boss mentions your name during a meeting, you immediately begin looking for an escape route as you know that there will be more overtime coming your way.

2. Your family sends you postcards saying "We Miss You"

3. You work 16 hour days, when Marketing opens their mouths when it comes to IT stuff they need at the board meeting, you smirk evilly... as if daring them to push you one friggin' minute further in your already packed day...

4. You've forgotten what the sun looks like.

5. You're meals include delivery, microwavable and Vending Machine" entrees

6. You're doing the work of three people... knowing that if you're NOT doing the work of three people, you'll be "Laid off" like the three people you're doing the work of!

7. You've fallen asleep on the copy machine while xeroxing your butt.

8. You're on Prozac for stress, Viagra 'cause stress and Prozac have left you "lacking" and a blue pill the doctor said to start taking you're not sure what the hell it is yet... but it's supposed to be for stress.

Your Doctor says to reduce stress in your life, but the thought of being unemployed is more stressful...

9. You aren't invited to board meetings because you're job is too important to bother you... you've made this clear more than once... worse yet, your boss has made this clear as well (plus you get screwed out of the donuts at the meetings).

10. You're terrified to call in sick, knowing it'll be twice as bad tomorrow... you live off anxiety, caffeine and sugar, because you don't sleep anymore. You also bring home work with you to at least be in the comfort of your own surroundings for a little while.

BONUS MATERIAL:

11 Your office walls are covered in "TO DO" lists...

12: The picture over your desk in your office/cubicle is of a coffin. This is motivational to you 'cause in X amount of years, you won't have to worry about this crap any more!

13. The Pepsi/Coke suppliers ask you if you need a case to yourself, or if they can put it in the machine first to "Get it cold".

14. You forget the names of people at a family reunion... but you know who in the office had a baby last month 'cause they hit you up for a couple bucks for the shower! Or the wedding... or the funeral expenses...
