Late nights, early mornings, lunch breaks, coffee breaks, weekends, some of us seem to be addicted. So what are some of the warning signs?

You won't know....until you create a survey question and ask everyone else. Once those results are in...then you will know.

Well me for one lol. I'm considered part of the working retired however the possibility of ever working full time is not in my future. But you do bring a up a good point, I've been searching for ways to work from home, I still might take that delivery driver spot at Barro's Pizza. :)

The number of friends you "virtually" met here, but in most cases not in person, outnumbers those you have around your AO.

For me that's easy because I don't have that many :-)

I have a laptop sitting next to my desktop while at work. The laptop is normally set for RP or Yahoo.

When you're more worried about how much time you spend on here as opposed to how much helpful insight you can provide to young Soldiers and current/future leaders.

Well it is one in the same, sort of, I guess, SFC(P) Gilley - if all your soldiers have RP accounts.

SSG Michael Scholl no matter what I use, the Skype sucks out here. But I do use the morale number to call home. A side benefit to having a data card in my iPhone is I can iMessage my spouse and the big kids! Too bad I can't keep my phone on me at work, but at least I'm not tied to my desk in the room. I can walk around Arifjan or text while I'm in the sauna!

Stars in your profile picture, 1 million plus points, caffeine overloads on a 24 hour basis and your wife screaming that you never spend time with her anymore, these could be some of the warning signs.

Uh, yeah so long as you don't tell your spouse the truth. In those cases "truth" is all about context. "No dear, that wasn't you I was yelling at last night. Some idiot posted a demeaning answer in RallyPoint. Sorry I woke you."

Discretion is the better part of valor in your case there Major. The yelling at your computer is driven by the stars in your profile picture.
