59. You find yourself tearing up the house searching for something to fit the challenge - on Sunday night!

60. You are completely overwhelmed with the NEED to contribute to all of the forums.

62. You see an advertisement and start critiquing the photo before you even notice what the ad is for.

65. It''s almost noon on your day off and you''re still sitting in your robe because when you got up at seven you decided to quickly have a look at what has been posted at the forums, quickly tweak a few more votes, quickly take a few more pictures for the new challenge and quickly take a look at the scores update that haven''t changed one depressing bit in three hours.

66. You couldn''t care less when someone outside the dpc realm gives you a sincere compliment but you feel very upset and bitter when you get another OOF comment.

67. When your psycho analyst urges you to change the session frequency from weekly to daily and you say: Before making a decision I better check that with the dpc first.

Edit: I got disconnected (again) when trying to post this and when it finally posted the numbers were wrong.

68. At breakfast you start thinking that maybe if they changed the horizon, the front of the box of Rice Krispies would look a little better...and it''s not even a photograph!

68.5. You look at the colorful piece of lint that just fell out of your pocket and wonder how it would look as a macro...

68.6. You look at the colorful piece of lint that just fell out of your pocket and wonder how that could represent the "Corporate World"...

68.7. You kidnap someone, stuff them in a burlap sack, take a picture of it, and try to tell people that it is a stuffed frog...

70. You contemplate the stuff you bought in the past twelve months, hit yourself on the head and say: I could have had a 5 megapixel for that.

It's too bad we couldn't all get together in person ... a reunion of sorts...
Just afraid it would turn into a support group meeting instead!!!

I have to stop this and get something done today!

71. You are phobic about being in debt but you go into debt to get a better camera anyway ---

72. You spend too much time here to use that new camera.

If you are just getting to read this thread now you might not be an addict yet.
Give yourself a few days.
My B Day was yesterday but thanks all the same.(17 score updates ago in DPC time)

73 ~ You plan to commute into work on Saturday so you can shoot for Corp World in the office without the overhead lights on and so all those annoying people won't be cluttering up the background.
