You hit the "Start" button (PC bottom left for Mac users) and get upset when you don't undock.  :bash:

You work in an escalation based environment and instead of referring to the "tiered" support path, you start saying "tech"

Ie.
Tech 1
tech 2
tech 3.

Get suddenly confused when you have to escalate further as there is not tech4.

refer to skill proficiency in resume's as "troubleshooting 5"

Extra credit if you get hired by an employer who knows what that means.

Local proxy port 26000 through ssh (putty) is one of the first things you setup on your work computer.

You open inter-office emails with 'Saisa' or 'Namas'.

LOL'd so hard, I have yet to respond to a client with a greeting of 'Salve', thank goodness :)

Pre skill queue.

You wake up in the middle of the night for no particular reason, start up the computer just for the hell of it and have 15 seconds left on a long skill after you log in.

...you actually get frustrated at other games for lacking ambiguity when you go to create your new character concept.
