You Know You Have Been Working With Drupal Too Long...Submitted by matthew on Tue, 2008-02-26 19:48 |
Today, in a Skype chat room with colleagues, a spontaneous series of "You know you have been..." started up. Word play seems to seep into our work at times. Sometimes the play is goofy, sometimes plain dumb, and sometimes it makes us all chuckle.
Here are a few that came across the "Internets" today.
- You know you've been working with Drupal too long when you're trying to write "note" but you write "node".
- You know you've been working with Drupal too long when hooks are no longer something used while fishing.
- You know you've been working with Drupal too long when you can't figure out why the mysql cl keeps complaining about the {} around your table names.
- You know you've been working with Drupal too long when, at the grocery store, the cashier asks the manager for an "override" and you look for a different coloured paint on the walls and check to see if the door is still in the same place...
- ...that's only if you shop at the core grocery store, I shop at contrib.
Thanks AjK, alasda, and coltrane for letting me post some of yours.
I'd love it if others would add their own "working with Drupal too long" comments!

When you used to loath K&R C brace style for if/else, and call it blasphemy:
if ( ... ) {
...
}
else {
...
}
And now you reformat anything that looked like:
if ( ...)
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
To the code conventions of Drupal (including 2 space indents, not tabs).
Even if it is C!
The horror ...
You Know You Have Been Working With Drupal Too Long...
...when somebody tells you they have "issues", and you offer to review patches for them.
You know you've been working with Drupal too long when...
Every time you try to write 'myself' you write 'mysql' (which actually just happened to me while writing this).
