I work at a local pizza place, and get way too excited when someone's total comes to $23.38. Also have had an order of $11.14 and the very next order was $20.56.

When you see a trash can on the sidewalk labeled 223 Hendricks and wonder when xtreme heat changed their team name. Then you realize it's an address.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

This one should really start "You know you're drinking the FIRST koolaid when.."

You go to closing ceremonies and make mental notes on Dean's homework assignment. And realize when you go to write them down that all of them were already in next year's plan in some form or another. And most of the things in next year's plan that weren't in the homework are about team development, fundraising, or the robot. And some of his homework was about stuff you thought was team development.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

As a college student, you're waking up at 4:00 to drive 2 hours down to an unofficial off season event just to volunteer, especially when your team isn't even competing at said event.

I have to agree with this because this happens to me a lot. A lot of times I stare at the time and it's a team number (2:54, 5:25, 6:24, 6:10, etc.). It's some sort of curse...
