Signs you’ve been working too hard (and should go on a bike ride!)
- You think a “half-day” means leaving at 5 o’clock.
- Anything under an hour each way is not a “real” commute.
- You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.
- Your pets sometimes don’t recognize you.
- Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.
- You refer to your dining room table as the flat filing cabinet.
- Your grocery list has been on your refrigerator so long some of the products don’t even exist any more.
- Cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.
- You keep trying to open your front door with the key to the office.
- You often eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.
