"Top Ten Signs You Are 'Burned Out'
Because of Work"
You're so tired you now answer the phone, "Hell."
Your friends call to ask how you've been, and you immediately scream, "Get off my back, jerk!"
Your garbage can IS your "in" box.
You wake up to discover your bed is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care.
You have so much on your mind, you've forget often how to think.
Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through ...er.... Monday.
You sleep more at work than at home.
You leave for a party and instinctively take your ID badge.
Your Day Timer exploded a week ago.
You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now.

Can't stick their heads out of Windows '95.
Fetch command not available on all platforms.
Hard to read the monitor with your head cocked to one side.
Too difficult to "mark" every website they visit.
Can't help attacking the screen when they hear "You've Got Mail."
Fire hydrant icon simply frustrating.
Involuntary tail wagging is dead giveaway they're browsing www.pethouse.com instead of working.
Keep bruising noses trying to catch that MPEG frisbee.
Not at all fooled by Chuckwagon Screen Saver.

Barking in next cube keeps
activating YOUR voice recognition software.
SmellU-SmellMe still in beta test.
SIT and STAY were hard enough, GREP and AWK are out of the question!
Saliva-coated mouse gets mighty difficult to manuever.
Annoyed by lack of newsgroup, alt.pictures.master's.leg.
Too Hard To Type With Paws
