all right.
i confess! i'm a proper addict! this is a fantastic website - filled with goodies and great people.
and i know that i'm not alone :)
so... i challenge forum members to describe 501 ways to know you've been posting on allnurses.com too much. here's some to start off...
remember to put the numbers
1. you're still stuck in threads from 2002, trying to catch up.
2. during conversations in 'actual reality', you keep looking for the emoticon buttons whenever you are being sarcastic/trying to be funny/etc.
3. when arguing with your so, you quickly get your point in because you think the debate will get locked.
4. you try to find a pm function on the phone, so much easier than dialing.
5. when your family starts getting on your nerves, you want to pm a moderator to get them banned.
209. When you are not even in NS yet, and already you looove this site and have read the "most gross, yucky, disgusting nursing horror stories" thread from the first page . . . and laughed until you cried/cringed/cried while reading the best ones to your SO, who gets totally grossest out, which is even more motivation to keep reading . . .and you still want to be nurse:rolleyes:
212. You have keyboard imprinbts on the side of your cheeks from falling asleep because you want to check 'just one more' thread.
213. You consider this site to be a valuable study resource, thus validating your continued dependence (and have every intention of changing that to a 'very valuable continuing education' resource when you graduate).
214. You only clean when the piles of detritus collapse onto the clear path between the door and the computer...and then you only clear the path.
215. You don't see the humour in "Who are these children and why are they calling me mum?"
