…you know Fastlane isn’t just the far-left lane on the interstate.<br>
…90% of your sentences contain acronyms.<br>
…you care more about whether it’s 5:00 local time than 5:00 somewhere.<br>
…you have experienced “Deadline Day Drama” (DDD) because a sponsor’s system crashed before you received a principal investigator’s final proposal for submission. (Fortunately, the deadline was extended!)<br>
…you don’t freak out at short deadlines.<br>
…you’ve accidentally spelled “inspires” as “<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">NSPIRES</span></strong>.”<br>
…a friend tells you they bought some equipment, and you catch yourself wondering if it cost more than $5,000 and has a useful life of a year or more.<br>
