Number 10:
"Exercise" has come to mean rolling your neck and focusing your eyes on
distant objects.
Number 9:
Strange discolourations have appeared where your arms rest on your chair and desk.
Number 8:
Friends no longer bother calling your mobile, they skype you.
Number 7:
You have RSI in BOTH arms.
Number 6:
You spend more hours in your desk chair than not - this has resulted in a
posture that
resembles early humans.
Number 5:
When you've finished a long day of work you: watch TV on your computer,
play Second Life or read your favourite blogs.
Number 4:
You fear taking a day off because you might fall behind with your list of
daily RSS reads.
Number 3:
You wake up in the night from dreams where you were using your computer to do the
same tasks you do when you are awake.
Number 2:
After switching desktop backgrounds, you have been heard to remark
"A change is as good as a holiday" ( no, no it isn't. )
And the number one sign you need to spend more time away from your desk :
You no longer like meals that require both a knife and fork because then you can't
use your mouse while eating !

I didn't know what RSI meant so I googled it. Google/wiki came up with
Repetitive strain injury. Sadly, the description of RSI seems to fit a
pain I have had for the past year in my neck and shoulder. I guess it's
time to see YAD (yet another doctor).
