Flat-Black's become your favourite colour.

Your home-made website devoted to your agency is listed in more than 3 search engines.

Even your mother calls you by your detective name.

You're thinking of starting a charity called "Sleuther's Anonymous".

Somewhere on your body is a tattoo of your favorite faction


Your resume contains the words "solving internet-based crimes". But instead of being in the "Hobbies and Interests" section, it’s in "Career History".

When you order out for pizza and the delivery man shows up, you ask him if he knows anything about the case

Everyone feel free to add your own! :-)

heehee!!

when you've checked the message boards 5 times and wonder why no-one has replied to your post, then you realise that it's only been 2 hours since you posted it...

How about when you google your Director (using his detective's name) to make sure he's on the up and up.

Yes I did it. And according to what I found he is the Director or our Agency.

When you know the twist stories off by heart and find yourself reciting them as soon as you see the picture pop up

When at work:

- You say "Store it in the case files and I will check it later."

- When someone mentions business travel to China and you exclaim, "I hate Shanghai!" and then have to backpedal and try to justify that you have never been there but have "heard" that it's a bit over-populated and really really hard to learn the language.

And in personal life:

- When it's your 2 year anniversary with your significant other but you can't go out for a romantic dinner because you are currently in the AVL match from hell, so the celebration will have to wait until the match is over. (True story. Very sad. But priorities, my friends! It's all about priorities. I may be looking for a little Sleuth match-making after this week.... Any takers?)

Security Lane , eeek back away from your keyboard. That sounds like stalking to me. Take a holiday. Relax. Google your landlord, or mayor or city council.

You guys are all way off. You know you've been at this too long when the cat's fur on her Lucky Tummy has been rubbed clean off cause you just need that ONE last favor to win the treasure hunt from hell.

Sorry bout that, Miss. It'll grow back in a couple weeks, I promise. ;-)

When you watch detective shows you shout at the character because you know that you know better than them. VISIT THE TAILOR!

It has become an accepted (aka, just barely tolerated) part of your relationship with your spousal equivalent/ main squeeze and or children that the very best way to get you to pay attention to them is by barking your Sleuth name at you.

CRUNCHPATTY!

Take out the garbage.

lol

(now worrying about whether my spouse knows what my Sleuth name is)

When you dream you're wandering around the streets of Delhi with a trained bloodhound asking people if they know where you can find a Fancy Fedora.

When the fact that your employer has blocked all game websites makes you seriously consider resigning. (watch this space...)

Reality slaps you in the face and you find yourself sitting in front of the computer wearing a slightly overfilled diaper completely unshaven and not having showered in days because you wanted to get "one" more case in
