You know you're a copywriter when:

1. You believe that your idea will change the world.

2. You create public service ads, warning about the effects of excessive alcohol consumption and then drink the night away.

3. You eat last weeks leftovers at 3.20 am and come to work to write about sumptious kebabs, gooey chocolate cake, and soft juicy rosogollas.

4. You work in a digital advertising agency, where the internet speed isnt 1/10th the speed of the virus alerts that keep popping up on your PC.

5. You frequently escape to the loo, to catch some shut-eye 'cause you can't be caught sleeping at your desk.

6. You are part of a fraternity that is so self obsessed that we create awards to celebrate our own work.

7. You sell dreams, while you're losing faith in your own.

8. Your salary is just a nice word for pocket money.

9. You look at innocent kids on the street with a gleam in your eyes, thinking 'target audience'.

10. You write all day, but can't seem to find the right words to explain what exactly your job is about, to your family.
