You know you're a graphic designer ....

[outsdr]

A few of my favorites:

You are pro-facebook because 95% of the myspace accounts burn your retinas

Your hand is permanently stuck in the shape of a mouse

You tell stories of exacto-knife inflicted wounds with grizzled sort of pride

You practically take caffeine intravenously

You have an appreciation for everything unique

You’ve been spending three days non-stop on a project and it still looks like shit. You find yourself overcome by Deathlust.

You know you’re a Graphic Designer when… you look at the clock and see it’s about midnight and think ‘I’ll go to bed now’… and you actually go to bed about 2-3am

You know you’re a Graphic Designer when… you need someone else to point out that you’re sitting in a room in front of the computer with all the lights off, and haven’t noticed

When you know what “kerning” is and you really, really like it.

Seeing someone use Lens Flare or Comic Sans adversely affects your blood-pressure

You’re up ’til 5am because you came up with the best idea ever while brushing your teeth.

Activating your entire font collection makes your computer crash

Apple+Z is the first thing that goes through your mind if you drop and break something.

When you know the difference between fuchsia, magenta, and maroon.

If you could go back in time you wouldn’t go back to see the rise and fall of civilizations, you’d go back in time to destroy comic sans and papyrus. (Oh YES YES YES!!!)

You go to another designers’ studio and leave dejected because of serious gear or software envy.

When working remotely at a WiFi cafe, you secretly compare your laptop with everyone else’s and then feel inordinantly proud to have the sweetest gear in the house.

Taken from here. More here.

Dude,
when… you need someone else to point out that you’re sitting in a room in front of the computer with all the lights off, and haven’t noticed
this is you even when you aren't working on design.
