If you are looking forward to Christmas this year because you can decide to take that afternoon off.
If you don't drink any beverages during the day because you will lose time having to go to the bathroom.
If a Pay-Per-View movie is your idea of a vacation.
If twenty minutes is too long for a lunch "hour."
If hobbies are something you will get into when you "get the time."
If the only time you have had off in the last three years was to attend your favorite uncle's funeral.
If you wish you were so stressed but know that you will feel better as soon as you "get over the hump."
If the color of one side of your golf bag has faded and is different from the other side of the bag.
If you promised your spouse "this is the only Sunday I will work" more than three times in the last year.
If you bring your spreadsheets to your son's football game.
If you have told yourself, "I can cut back of my hours anytime, if I wanted to" more than three times in the last six months.
If you use your cellphone in the shower to return business calls in the morning before work.
If you don't have a tan by July 15 each year.
If it is difficult to remember the last time you heard background music at a restaurant.
If you set your alarm for 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. so you can check your voicemail.
If it bothers you that you are always at work before and after everyone else.
If you can't name your child's favorite rock band.
If elderly people tend to make you impatient.
If people at cocktail parties seem to want to leave your conversation and "get another glass of wine" just when you were really getting into telling them about your job.
If it has been a while since you felt guilty about missing yet another family dinner.
If you carry family pictures in your wallet only to remind you what they look like.
If you are drinking your coffee in a dirty cup from yesterday.
If you have not gone home early in the last six months.
If your idea of an intimate anniversary celebration is to take your spouse to a formal business dinner.
If a clown is not so funny, an owl is not so wise, and you think that Peter Pan cannot really fly.
If the last outrageous thing you did was over ten years ago.

If the closest thing you get to time off is to read this blog.
