  consumer market yet.
     
- You go to "The City" on weekends but don't live there because you like 
  your car.
     
- You think that "I'm going to Frye's." is an acceptable excuse to leave the 
  office for a while, and your boss does too.
     
- You lost your alarm clock. You'll get to work when you get there.
     
- Own more than 10 articles of clothing that have hardware/software 
  companies  printed on them. Bonus for embroidered stuff.

- Most of your jokes come to you off the internet
