You Know You're an AutoCAD Geek When...

  1. Someone asks you what your favorite color is and you say, "190".
  2. You've rubbed off the letters in the ESC key.
  3. ALL YOUR FRIENDS KNOW THAT WRITING IN ALL CAPS JUST MEANS YOU'RE WORKING, NOT SHOUTING.
  4. You ask your mom to "plot" the directions to your aunt's house.
  5. You believe there is no such thing as too many monitors.
  6. You think hand-drafted drawings are "adorable!"
  7. You refer to cleaning your glasses as "doing a REGEN."
  8. You create detailed floorplans before moving any of your furniture around.
  9. They're not family photos, they're raster images.
  10. You've ever worked on AutoCAD in your pajamas...or underwear.
  11. You use the middle mouse wheel to pan & zoom everything (and have messed up a Google map doing so.)
  12. Most of your Facebook friends you know from AU or techcamp.
  13. You don't clean your house, you PURGE.

I have to replace my escape key at least once a year.

You want to choke the next person who asks "Have you seen G**gle Sketch-up?"

I thought of another one: You know more about what is going on with Lynn Allen's life than you do your family members'.
