25 Reasons

Dan sent this link to me from BittBox, which I found hilarious! I took and condensed the list to what is true for me. You can view the original list at the link below.

25 (or so) Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer(Full/original list at BittBox)

1. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
2. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
3. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
4. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
5. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
6. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
7. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
8. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
9. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)
10. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
11. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
12. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.
13. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.
