This used to be a popular thread run by another guy in Beta, as I haven't seen it for a while thought I would re introduce it into the mainstream.
1. When you have to arrange for your assistant to drag you out of a top level meeting for 5 minutes so you can run down the corridor to your office, to log on to an (illegally) installed copy of EVE, so that you can start the next skill training.
2. When you go sick for a month after the first day of release due to "Eye strain" after getting your doctor (whos a buddy and has been offered free ciggys for a month) signs you off work. (Yes I know someone who did that)(He's no longer employed - lol)
3. When you get your (then) girlfriend a copy of EVE for her birthday.
4. When you shave your head and start walking around in sunglass's (during downtime) so you can look more like your character
5. When you spend more time typing on the boards than you do actually working.
