I am at home with bronchitis today.   A co-worker sent this to me to
lighten me up.

Does this sound like anyone you know?

Symptoms of Internet dependency:

1. how many times have you checked your e-mail today?
2. how often do you wonder who's written you on e-mail?
3. how often do you ask other people to use their terminals to check your
e-
mail?
4. how often do you ask people to send you e-mail?
5. how often do you send e-mail to someone who lives right next door to
you?
or is in the same room as you? someone you see everyday?
6. do you search your addressbook for someone new to e-mail that you barely
know? or don't know at all?
7. do you get more excited when someone e-mails you, rather than writing a
letter or calling by phone?
8. have you ever e-mailed someone you don't know, and have never even seen
before, just to make some smart-ass comment and see if you get a response?
9. do you spend friday or saturday nights in front of your computer screen
on e-mail or the internet?
10. do you call people just to get their e-mail address, and then hang up,
only to e-mail them immediately afterwards.
11. do you have other people e-mail people you've e-mailed just to
encourage
them to get on their asses and e-mail you back?
12. do you write senseless things on e-mail late at night or in the day and
send them to friends just for the hell of it?
13. do you call people just to tell them you e-mailed them, and then hang
up
so they can read their e-mail, and hopefully respond?
14. does e-mail and the internet distract you from obligations and time
spent with loved ones?
15. do you find yourself sitting in front of the screen wondering what new,
screwed up types of things you can put on the internet (i.e.; pictures out
of words and punctuation marks, or smart-ass quizzes like this?)
16. do you have a gpa that's below 2.5, but you still email for 4 hours the
night before an exam?
