When you need to think for a few min about the subject title for e-mails you are sending out to apply for jobs because you keep having the urge to type in All Quiet or any other game title.

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

Actually, between job hunting and taking care of my 2 year old son since I dont have the excuse of a job, plus the psycological stress from anxiety from the lack of work. I feel I have less time and energy than when I was working.

... during work hours. And ask your coworkers for technical help and play games with you to "gather test data". Twisted Evil

PS: No kidding, when I was modding Henk Poel's "hab simulator" to create the Habcalc some coworkers noticed the complex-looking code and the pretty graphics in a sea of text-based Unix consoles. I told them I was conducting statistical analyses and managed to rope two of the smartest into a few short, easy games. Deal

When you want to learn programing just to make tools and utilities made just for Stars.

When you spend 6 hours playing stars some days.

When your logged into the forum as much as me.

When you go threw withdrawal if you don't get a new turn soon.

 When your friend tries to wake you up from a deep sleep but you mumble to them that you don't have to get up yet because your BB's won't be ready for 2 more turns...

 When your wife tries to file a missing persons report with the police. Laughing Laughing I came to bed last night (before 8:30 Pm) My wife asked what happened did you break the computer? Smile I'm very lucky though she understands.Keeping the aliens at bay is not a 9-5 job!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy

I'll worry when I come to bed in the dark and she says We only have a hour to cuddle because my husband might walk in. Surprised Surprised Shocked

 When you're browsing the forum while waiting for a new turn, and feel the urge to necropost in old threads just so there'll be some kind of updating going on, that might be a sign too.

 When a mild earthquake hits (while you are playing stars.... Can you be doing anything else ;p)

and while it's still going on....

you quickly submit, in case the net goes out / building comes down.

 When you tap the + key a few times, and it takes you a moment to realize that the image/map/page/whatever is not zooming in because THIS IS NOT STARS.

What we need's a few good taters.

Yeah. That is the ticket. Boss is acting antsy and I go to hit F3 a couple times... blargh. Obviously superior cloaking tech. Time to start building more chaff.
