You might have been in Silicon Valley too long if:

ú Cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.
ú Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.
ú Pick up lines now include a reference to liquid assets and capital gains.
ú You consider 2nd day air delivery painfully slow.
ú You refer to your dining room table as the flat filing cabinet. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored post-it notes.
ú You lecture the neighborhood kids selling lemonade on ways to improve their process.
ú You refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables. You find you really need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living.
ú You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.
ú You think that, "Progressing an action plan," and "Calendarizing a project," are acceptable English phrases.
ú You ask your friends to "Think out of the box," when making Friday night plans.
ú You think Einstein would have been more effective had he put his ideas into a matrix.
ú You think a "Half-day," means leaving at 5 o'clock.
ú You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
