Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

-the dremel has a song that everyone knows

-you dream about using the lathe and share that dream with the team that has the same dream

-you hold a wake for your "killed" drill bit

-think about lathes and mills more than girls

Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

-when the sound of a bandsaw cutting aluminum that once was deafening and painful becomes soothing to the ears

-when your hand continues to vibrate a bit and you feel like your using a dremel an hour after you finish using it for a LONG time

-when you find hard tables comfy to sleep on

-when you remember exactly what size wrench is for what nut and what allen key/screwdriver is for which bolt on your robot (almost)

-when you look at your bed in the morning and see lots of metal shavings on it

when you find a nice place to take a nap, and you wake up in a 4' x 4' x 5' plywood room, and it feels like you are flying in a big jet.

When you fly FedEx no one can hear you scream!

One of your team members wakes up, and the first thing he thinks, is "Tomorrow is ship day!" instead of "Today is my birthday."

Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

Are just now preparing for the first real sleep(>2 hours) in 2 days. (its 4:15p.m.)

Drink 8 cups of coffee in 3 hours

Fall asleep lounging on a moped and dream about programming

The people around you have minidreams about "press the program button!"

set off a fire alarm 4 times in one night

Start wearing robot pieces.

launch balls at anyone who dozes off

fantasize about the bed waiting upstairs

have a component on your robot called the "hopper flopper"

You are speding your night in a har chair at a table made of a door and 2 sawhorses. On the table is your laptop, a desktop, the OI, a few sandwiches, about a dozen empty soda cans, and endless assortments of other odds and ends.

realize what excellent pillows poof balls make

Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

-when your mentor joins you in a game of skeeball through the center goal

-when you know which of the 50 keys on your mentors key ring opens his office door

-when you go home and crawl in bed, and think that your robots launch mechanism is tangled in your sheets

(all are true)

Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

When you start barking commands in C very fluently, but for some reason cannot pronounce "salad," or "dongle."

You make incessant jokes about the robot "smoking your 'pot'" after witnessing the potentiometer sizzle.

You bat poof balls out of the air from pure instinct, no matter which way they fly from (assuming you aren't goal-tending).

No matter what, you can't seem to shake the vision of a giant error message popping up whenever you think about catching some ZZZzzs
