Addiction
05.02.04 (9:18 am) [edit]
Morning friends!
I received this is an email and normally I NEVER post one of these things, but I thought it was just too cute. Considering I've found myself guilty of a few of these from time to time.
I know that I've thought "LOL" when someone was talking to me.. LOL
You know you're addicted when.....
1. Tech Support calls "YOU" for help.
2. Someone at work tells you a joke and you say "LOL" out loud.
3. You find yourself trying to turn your head 90 degrees when you
smile.
4. You bring a bag lunch and a cooler to the computer.
5. When looking at signs, you wonder why they are always "yelling"
at you.
6. When at work, your boss constantly reminds you that the word "i"
should be capitalized.
7. You don't even notice anymore when someone has a typo.
8. You stop speaking in full sentences.
9. You no longer type with proper capitalization, punctuation, or
complete sentences.
10. You stop typing whole words and use things like ppl, dunno and
lemme.
11. You watch TV with the closed captioning turned on.
12. You dream in "text".
13. You have an identity crisis if someone is using a screen name
close to your own.
14. You change your screen names so much that you have to look at
your own profile to see who you are.
15. When someone asks, "What did you say?" you reply, "Scroll up!"

I will ALWAYS correct people in their grammar and spelling. It is a personal mission to raise awareness about the correct spelling of A LOT. (and dammit would be good too!)

I know what you mean. Being the best speller in the world is hard work at times.
(For those unaware, this was typed completely tongue in cheek.)

Speaking of technical support, someone sent me this suggestion:
The cure for overseas technical support is to speak entirely in colloquial euphemisms. "My hard drive is pushing up daisies" works every time.
