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

when you spend your weekend writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper on behalf of your team

when you plan on rooming with a friend from another FIRST team at college

when you call your boss and start talking about fundraisers for robotics and they think it is the most natural thing in the world

when you convince your boss to help with your team's fundraisers

when you have your mentors', co-captain's, and other teams' captain's cell phone numbers memorized from calling them so frequently

when your work schedule is based off when you don't have robotics meetings

when you get special discounts for the amounts of hair dye and gel you buy just because of competition season

when you and your best friend are both captains of different teams and you joke about how finals will go at specific competitions

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

When you spend more time on Christmas day on CD and FIRST website than you do playing with your new gadgets.

When you list a game hint with your presents when people ask you what you got for Christmas.

When you have no clue how many days are left until Christmas, but you've been counting down to kickoff for 120+ days

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

When you are in college and on Christmas day run between presents, food and the computer to read the replies on the game hint post...

When you go to school and still find the time to spend 50+ hours a week at your teams shop...

When after you come home from that shop you stay on CD for another 20 hours a week...
