...when after finishing a long build, you immediately fall into a feeling of euphoria for 10 seconds...only to realize...

...you still got a good 2 gigabytes of downloaded stuff waiting in line...

...when you printer is half dead, can't feed cardstock anymore, and is out of one color ($100 for new toner catridges)...yet you still try and print out models, laminating the regular paper to cardstock (now it'll be 134lb) and calling the interesting colors that come out an "instant repaint".

Ok, normal for now, but when you start downsizing to 1/100 or even 1/200 so they show up better in your electron microscope..they do use padded vans with that funny lace-up in the back jacket!

It occurred to me that one can determine if one is a card modeler based on how one answers this question: Is card modeling what you do when you are not working, or is work what you do when you are not card modeling? It's a subtle, but important, distinction.

What if card modelling IS your work?

Worringly there's nothing unusual in a lot of these for me. Ah well at least I'm in like minded company
