YOU MIGHT BE A DJ IF....

okay, I promise I will write an original post soon (i'm working on one about Christmas, I swear!), but this was forwarded to me by another radio friend/former co-worker (forwarded to her by another former co-worker), and it's just too funny not to share.


YOU MIGHT BE A DJ IF....

80% OF YOUR WARDROBE HAS A STATION LOGO ON IT

YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT Q-TIPS IN OVER 3 YEARS

YOU STILL REFER TO CDs AS "RECORDS"

YOU LOOK AT YOUR PAYCHECK AND SAY, "THAT'S IT! I'M GETTING A REAL JOB!"

AN EXTRA HOUR-AND-A-HALF OF SLEEP IS CONSIDERED A DAY OFF

THE ONLY INTERACTION BETWEEN YOU AND SOMEONE ELSE AT DINNERTIME IS, "THANK YOU...PLEASE PULL TO THE SECOND WINDOW!"

YOU CALL A WEEKEND OFF A "VACATION"

YOU CAN SMOKE A CIGARETTE IN THREE MINUTES OR LESS

YOU ANSWER YOUR HOME PHONE WITH THE STATION CALL LETTERS

A SALES PERSON HAS EVER TAKEN CREDIT FOR YOUR PAYCHECK

YOU KNOW WHAT A "BULLET" IS

YOU'VE EVER SLICED YOUR FINGER WITH A RAZOR BLADE, AND CLEANED THE CUT WITH ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL AND AN EXTRA LONG COTTON SWAB. (ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE OF US WHO REMEMBER REELS AND CARTS)

YOU MEASURE YOUR AMOUNT OF PRODUCTION IN "SHITLOADS"

THINKING OF SPLICING TAPE AND AN EXACTO KNIFE GIVES YOU A RUSH

YOU CAN POST THE SONG...RUN DOWN THE HALL...DO A FULL-BLOWN #2...AND BE BACK IN 2:40 TO DO A SEGUE

DINNER? LETS SEE WHAT THE RECEPTIONIST LEFT IN THE FRIDGE.

YOU HAVE EVER DREAMED OF A RECORD RUNNING OUT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE CONTROL ROOM DOOR.

YOU'VE EVER MUTTERED THE WORDS, "YEAH, I'LL TRY TO GET THAT ON FOR YA."

YOU HAVE MORE STEREO AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT THAN EVERYONE ELSE YOU KNOW....COMBINED.

PEOPLE WHO RIDE IN YOUR CAR EXCLAIM, "HOW THE HELL DO YOU LISTEN TO THE RADIO THAT LOUD?"

YOU CONSIDER WEARING A SHIRT YOU HAVE TO IRON "DRESSING UP"

WHEN LISTENING TO MUSIC AT HOME YOU ONLY LISTEN TO THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF THE SONG...THEN SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE.
