Originated by my coworker Amibeth S, contributions and additions by other folk who are as crazy as we are. Feel free to email me with any additions to the list.

-You have races to the bathroom with your supervisor to break up the normal crazyness of working in the SC
-You get disappointed in the clerks at the coffee shop when they don't know your order automatically in the morning
-You remember and can still imitate the voice from the telephone timeclock system
-You call the Center Manager phone when it snows instead of the Snow Phone
-You no longer call the Center Manager phone or the Snow Phone when it snows because you know that the Student Center will be open anyways
-You take time out of your life to create a list such as "You know you spend too much time in the Student Center when..."
