1. You don't set your alarm anymore because you know the pager will go off before the alarm does.
2. You leave for a party and instinctively bring your ID badge.
3. You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now.
Can you think of more? Add them to the thread!

If I start answering my home phone: "Compliance, this is Maria," then I'm suffering from much more than just burnout!

When you read your junk mail for typos, good marketing ideas (although that is part of the deal with marketing), or compliance goofs.

When you start thinking, "I could have been attempting to teach English literature to hormonally crazed teenagers (yes, I know that's redundant)", and that starts to sound like an appealing alternative.

Answering the phone with your business voice, then switching to your normal one when you recognize the caller. I'm out in 10. Have a safe holiday everybody!

When you are still at the bank and everyone else has gone home because it's the "day before a holiday" and we (most of us) get to leave an hour early. My turn now! Happy Fourth! Bye!

When you turn out the light the day before a holiday week-end, look at the stack of reading material that should go home with you and say, "I'm NOT going to read this stuff this week-end, I'm going to buy a BOOK!  (I am now reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.)
