You know you're a journalist when...
1. You're not able to get anything done, unless there's a deadline involved.
2. You think it's perfectly normal to measure the length of a text in words or characters.
3. You seriously believe that the fact that everything is fine is not worth reporting.
4. You think it's perfectly normal to go through at least three newspapers and a couple of news broadcasts before other people even get out of bed.
5. Your desk is so crammed with notepads, post-its and press-releases, that doing any actual work becomes practically impossible.
6. You consider any technical device, which can be used to record sound or video, to be a reporting tool.
7. You never go anywhere without at least one of your several reporting tools.
8. You even consider yourself a reporting tool.
9. You blame the existence of tabloids on people who are stupid enough to read them.
