• You are in the kitchen making dinner and the phone rings. You automatically say: "X and Co, how can I help you?"
• Your pets start looking thinner, then fail to recognise you, and finally run away (even the goldfish).
• Workmates ask you if you saw the latest film or something on last night's telly, and you stare back at them blankly, before asking: "What is telly?"
• You get RSI in your wrist, and fail to see why everybody else in the office finds it so amusing.
• You are at home and decide to call your mother. You press "9" before you dial out.
• Your girlfriend/boyfriend moves out, taking all their stuff, and you only notice six days later because you can't find the coffee machine.
• The designated 'best friend' line on your mobile phone is your office number.
• You can't remember what your best friend even looks like, but you're sure you know where they live. Well, fairly sure.
• The only two things that happen at bedtime are extra paperwork or the sleep of the terminally exhausted.
• You think it would be a cool idea to keep a sleeping bag under your desk.
• You think all your colleagues are late for work, how typically irresponsible and lazy of them - then realise you have come in on a bank holiday by mistake.
