Signs You're Burned Out

After pulling an all-nighter last night only to have all of the work we did “rolled back,” I can related to this list of Signs You’re Burned Out From Too Much Work.

You're so tired you now answer the phone "hell."
Your best friend calls to ask how you've been and you immediately scream, "Get off by back, BITCH!".
Your garbage can is you're "in" box.
You wake up to discover your house is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care.
You consider a 40 hour week a vacation.
Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday.
You don't set your alarm anymore because you know your pager will go off before your alarm does.
You leave for a party and instinctively bring you're briefcase.
Your Day-Timer/PDA exploded a week ago.
You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now.

To quote one of my co-workers, "If you hear a loud SNAP, don't come to work. I'll be on the roof, naked, with an AK"
