10) If you post a new node and it's reputation goes into the negatives your entire day is ruined and you go home and simply sleep until the reputation is raised.

9) You can't figure out why /ignore won't work in the real world...

8) You refer to your friends by their node_id

7) PM no longer means Prime Meridian

6) Anytime someone asks you how you are doing you begin with "/me..."

5) When you're boss gives you something unpleasant to work with you tell him you're going to vote that action down and begin looking for the -- button on his desk.

4) You call your children ( if you have them || pets ) "Nodelets"

3) You replaced your graduation day picture with a picture of you when you achieved Monk ( for the first time!! )

2) Your significant other asks for a PeArl Necklace and recieves the Camel pasted onto a string.

$you->giveWife('Necklace') or $you->goTo('DogHouse');

and the number one way to tell you spend too much time on PerlMonks.org

1) At night you pray, "Now I lay me down to sleep, pray to vroom my XP to keep...."

Hope this garnered a chuckle out of some of you.

    Update: I apologize to anyone who this does not apply to through the use of 'wife,' 'his', 'boss', etc. If it does not apply to you simply replace those words with the appropriate value. Hopefully nobody took offense

        I've heard of one complaint. Such is life. You can't please everyone. If I could, I'd take office, then break my promises and rule with an Iron fist. Vote for me!
