Quiz. Time to tender your resignation?

Is it time to start looking for a new job? Take this simple questionnare to find out if you should stay put or if you should start filing for unemployment benefits. Add 1 point for each "yes" response.

Do you spend 30% or more of your workday on any of the following activities?

• Looking for other jobs
• Banging your head against your desk repeating "why God, why?"
• Shouting profanities at office appliances (or your coworkers)?
• Carving "HELP" into your desk with a letter opener and hoping someone notices
• Animating your desk supplies and acting out elaborate soap-opera-esque dramas
• Volunteering for things like blood drives just so you can get out of work for an hour or more?
• Trying to relive college experiences by asking college friends to describe the kegger they had this weekend in full detail, no information spared
• Contemplating the meaning of our existence

Does the sound of your coworkers voice give you an ulcer?

Estimate how many people at your company actually know your name (your REAL name, this doesn't count people who salute you as "Ted" instead of "Frank," etc.). Is it:
a) 0. I don't think my boss even knows I still work here. (add 5 points. Your company may not notice your existence, but we applaud you. You're doing a great job, Ted)
b) 1-4 (add 3 points)
c) 5-10 (add 2 points)
d)10-15 (add 1 point)
e) 15+. Everyone loves me. I own this place. (add 0 points, you pompous ass)

Total your points. If you counted a sum of:
15 or more: Are you sure you can count? You need a new job, preferably something with no math involved.
10-14: Did you by any chance write this quiz?
6-9: You may not know it yet, but you need a new job. Keep something on the back-burner just in case. Hot dog stands not excluded.
3-5: Do you get to wear jeans to work? If yes, you may have 6 months or so before you will need to start looking for a new job.
0-3: You probably don't realize it, but you need a new job. In that case, can I have your job?
