How SoR invades RL

I'm playing SoR since last September, and I noticed an increasing blur between RL and game world.
Examples:
- reviewed a document which mentioned the statistical method of 'Pearson-Clopper' and my brain immediately went: 'whoa, dangerous, aggro!'
- found (by pure chance) a bar called 'Rhizome'. It's nice, has cheap beer and good music

, but I caught myself thinking: 'pitty they don't provide stabling facilities for Mektoubs...'. It goes without saying that I keep dragging my mates to this bar over and over again...
- read an article in the newspaper which used the word 'forage'. Made me sad immediately, 'cause I realized I was on the way TO work, where I have NO chance to log on and give that newly trained tracking stanza a try...seemed forever before I could dash back home that day...
Not to mention the feeling of disappointment when I finish a task at work and I don't get any XP
Looks like a serious form of 'SoR hookedness' here...
Guess many of you have similar experiences?

My biggest problem is getting out of the house and to work, since I know Dazman is patiently waiting in Min-Cho for some action... RL is utterly rubbish!
*wibble*

I keep having the feeling that my bankaccount being low can be solved by putting on my blue dress and a pick and head for the countryside. Wait, it doesnt work that way, I have to actually sit and look at a screen.
I had my brain flashing of the impuls to push 3 (careplan), when I saw a cup of coffee being tipped over by a collegue. Instant stress reaction for me: careplan!
I think it will wear off sooner or later and I can pick up my life outside Ryzom again

Luckily, since I'm at uni, I can just pop back to my room in the lunch break (its less than 5mins from the lecture rooms

) and get my Ryzom fix if it gets real bad

How you ever manage to get back to the lectures once you started??

I actually considered if being a harvester (i.e. a lumber jack or a farmer) is getting me a better income then my current job. Luckily I decided against it.
I always want to tell my clients that I don't have the resources for their current order and they have to wait some more time. But people in RL are even more impatient then in game.
I freeze when I go outside in light armor (shorts and t-shirt)

Probably one that lots of people have experienced, I often hit enter before I start typing whenever using MSN messenger, hehe.

I often try to cast madness at my co-workers hoping they will start
to attack themselfs and eventually vanish (they can not spawn !!)
But much like in game they will probably never hit !! Or the effect is so lame they won't even notice !
