You know you have painted too long when.....

  1. The second albums worth of music finishes and you have still not stood up.
  2. Your dog is camped at the top of the stairs with his head against the bars
  3. Your Pepsi Maxs goes warm and flat (other beverages are available)
  4. Your wife calls up stairs "are you OK" for the third time
  5. You get cramp in your fingers and keep dropping the figure your painting
  6. Your sure the figure your painting just winked at you.
  7. You dare yourself to wait another 5 minutes before a trip to the mens room.
  8. Your arse has gone to sleep (could cause problems with above)
  9. You clean your brush in your drink and sip your painting water, for the second time....
  10. When you finally call it a day your legs are so dead you fall on your carpet and find that missing spear you dropped, it is now stuck in your numb bum.

Just a bit of a laugh (honest), I have been over doing it a bit but it is my best form of relaxation and I have needed a bit of that recently. I have been enjoying myself greatly and am very happy with how the Pulp Fiction figures are coming along. These guys are not equipped for stealth work :) .

      Not fallen asleep yet in fact I have always painted when insomnia hits on my nights off as most night shifters suffer every now and then
