Tears of Agony

I hate it. Destest it. "IT" being the urge to sneeze but instead grants you the urge to cry, cringe, sniffle, and keep that stupid expression on your face. All morning now.

BAH#ARHI!H#IH!AJFIDFAJ(JAJAFKJALasdfjlkjf!

On the Mond

The title was an actual typo, but i didn't fix it. "On the Mind", referring to thinking about wow, and i seem to have started to type Mondie... Yah... I'm pretty sure WoW is on my brain at work!

Just a quick sketch of kitty form!

I think the partial to blame here is that I didn't get enough WoW in my system yesterday (despite staying up past my bedtime). The awful patch caused probably millions of players to lose aquired items, especially through the AH, to disappear upon zoning, trading, or logging out. Blizz did not sympathize and did not restore (probably 95%) of people's items. I remember last patch I had DE'd all of my T1 and other random bank stuff, only to find upon a restart that all... ALL of the shards and the items that were de'd gone. No sympathy from the GM's.

I recieved a company e-mail message from a Senior Systems Engineer in Florida today. I figured, oh great another mis-directed e-mail message. I opened it anyways, only to have it state "LF1M Stockades". Small world that 2 of my guildies found me on the company mailing list, turns out they work at the same company I do. Wow....

The weather was depressing all day. RAIN rain and more rain. And I also here back home, it's snowing. Yay.... I also wrote the temperature on my whiteboard at 7am (as is my custom), 7, high of 8. Brrr. At noon, I check the weather again. Weather changed to 5degrees, dropping to 4. Since when does the "High" of the afternoon go lower than what it was at 7am in the morning ><. It's been like this all week. It's not only rainy and cold, but also windy as hell! Up to 50km! That's not extreme, but when it's constant all week it's pretty dang annoying.

At least I had some odd company e-mails and an adorable picture of Perry pouting (tot and present) that kept me feeling good heh. Plus I got my paycheck today and income tax return today... doesn't get much better.

A Minefield without Minesweeper

Internet/ Network/ E-mail all went down for a while here at work. No games on the computer (even minesweeper had been removed).

This is what I did >.> It's a dragon thing... I guess. Yah it's a bit deformed but I was having fun with it =). More shading than my average paintdoodles.

Soul Capturing Dinner Treats

Just a note to read Perry's Blog (link to the left, by the sexy pouty pic).

(EDIT: Added quick doodle!)

Quote of the day " Hard work never killed anybody, but why give it a chance?"

So it's another week, well, if you can call it that. I had monday and this friday off =). Three day week ftw? I swear I wouldn't talk about WoW, but whatever. The patch hits today so I'm told and I'm excited. Mind you I'll be 5-6 hours behind everyone else playing because I'm at work all day. I was going to get groceries but I am sure we can muster another day or two >=D. I am really excited for epic flight form. I have read all the quest lines and they don't sound too horrid. I will be dragging my hun along with me, so he can not check out the new content...well.. until I'm content! Well I shouldn't be so harsh...he'll beat me. Plus he brings me subs from work made tastey just for me. He may poison them and I wouldn't notice because I basically inhale them. I don't think there will be too many epic birds right off because of the requirements of 5k gold and revered with lower city, so hopefully I'll have a head start there =). The quest line also gives me a 10% speed boost trink, so I don't have to buy a riding crop either (150g ish). CHa CHINg!

What's nice is that when one of us (seems like me mostly) is away from home on a patch day, the other will log on and get the patch downloaded. It's nice so that when I get home I can just play and not wait an hour for the patch to go.

I just hope Perry feels like playing tonight. He's been feeling WoW stingy lately (omg who could get sick of staring at a computer screen for 6+ hours!?!?!?) Go Patch!

Snoogems

I figure it couldn't hurt to have a snoogems post on here.

Perry and I have been together almost 3 1/2 years now, which I think is really awesome. What is depressing is that it seems everyone I know or hear about is breaking up around the 3-4 year mark. Is there some special reason? I know personally I would never dream of breaking it off with my snoogems, not even when I have PMS. Seriously, you would have to be an idiot to hold a suspicion or feeling of dislike for so long before breaking it off (except in the circumstance of reason, like cheating). Are they waiting for a new prospect first? Are they too lazy and hey, extra nice gifts around Christmas are nice?

So yah, Perry is stuck with me until he finds a better girlfriend =P. He is my snoogems, and I couldn't ask for a better guy. Especially since we are both special (read: stupid).

Work Break

I've finished my filing for today, made some forms, and even made the bulletin board look "pretty". My workplace promotes employee wellness, so I do the 35 min walk at lunch with my coworkers. I haven't been "speed-walking" in a while, and I am sore from yesterday, and today wasn't much better. I'll have to get Perry to give me a massage >=D.

I had to spiffy up very boring presentations with some humor. The presentations were mostly graphs and statistics, so I threw in some funny equations and math humor, my favorite being this one here.

Once again, I don't have anything productive to do, as I did most of it during my first week. Soon though, I'm going to have to do some Microsoft Project stuff, all graphs and charts, kind of annoying but at least takes effort to complete, rather then mindless typing. I actually enjoy working and keeping busy, its when I'm allowed to slack off that the day goes slow, I feel unproductive, and I get grumpy. I also hate tasks that rely on the help/effort of other employees here, as they are really busy and often my "mediocre" tasks get overlooked and put aside, leaving me again with nothing to do. Last year my boss wrote on the weakness column that I needed to be more forward in getting tasks done from other employees. I pestered them daily. I figured that was enough, and they usually didn't do it until the last minute anyways. Sigh. I even moved, organized, and relabeled 10 filing cabinets into 5 (yes I packed them really tight because they were old, had an inch of dust, and never get used). The empty ones were supposed to be moved out of the building to make it seem less cramped for the "Tour" coming though (they just judge us every way possible basically). Never happened even though I emptied more than they expected. I'm sure it will eventually, but seriously, it was my only task with a due date.

Oh, and my router blew up, so no T.V. or internet for a while apparently. Yay.

Blogging is for the Interesting

Often this is the case with Perry and I. To tell you the truth, not much has happened since Perry's Birthday Post. I can tell you I've been low on moola, but now that I've started work I should be able to get all that back into order.

I had an interesting conversation about friends last night. It's fairly true to both of us. Perry was telling me about how he, like his dad, didn't like making friends because they were used to moving around a lot and this means losing their friends repeatedly. I know I lost my MooseJavian friends to Calgary, as did Perry. I think I seriously just stopped trying to maintain contact between most individuals.

I think that is why I'm so addicted to WoW. I love the social aspect of the game, meeting new people, and knowing they will always be there. If they move, who cares! They can still meet me online and we can have fun talking and gaming together. I think that's why I join more random groups (pugs) and hope that they use programs like vent so I can talk to them. I really enjoy meeting new people, and its a shame I can't apply that to real life. I also have a distrust too, like everyone hates me. I just realized that must be there to prevent me from getting attatched to people I really like. Seriously. Can you imagine Ramphada secretly hating me popping over for visits with Perry? Maybe she does....but that's just me hehe.

Why am I so weird? Hmm this post sounded more emo than intended.
