I still have not gotten the issues with my life insurance and junk corrected at work. It should not be this hard. I am starting to think they are purposefully making it more difficult than it should be. I need to get a life insurance quote from somewhere else, and just tell them to shove it. Every time I try to call them they are closed. I swear they have the most jacked up hours I’ve ever seen. That crap should be 24 hours. I’m sure its just a couple of foreigners in a room with some phones and a crappy dell computer.

Chewie is doing really well after his neuter and declaw, and is back to bouncing around the house again. I have never been much of a cat person, and always preferred dogs, but he has really grown on me. He is a lot like a little dog. He follows us around everywhere, and is always nearby. My biggest problem with cats has always been the scratching, but we don’t have to worry about that now. We kept his back claws tho, as there really is no need to remove those. I still miss Naobi, but having the little furball bouncing around is really nice. We just need to find the correct bathroom lighting for him in his office.
I am so sick of going back and forth between Feral and Resto. I just cant make a concrete decision either way. It’s no secret that feral sucks in arena, and is probly the least represented in 2v2, but its a lot of fun. Resto is probly the most OP you can get for 2’s, but I don’t know if its my awful gear or if I’m just feral at hear, but it just isn’t all that fun. Staying feral pretty much means I have very little chance of getting my arena gear before the expansion, and going Resto will mean I have to spend another billion hours grinding gear in the BG’s. I would probly enjoy resto more once i have some gear and can stay alive longer. Sometimes I wish I’d just made a rogue, named Britax. Shadowstep ftw.
After an embarrassingly bad night of 2v2, I logged in Saturday to see Tyler already online. He messaged me and asked if I wanted to go a few rounds. I figured he had to be joking after Friday night. The more I talked to him, the less it seemed like Tyler, so I gave him a call and found out that he was out to eat somewhere. Oh boy. I broke the news to him that someone was on his account, and immediately assumed it was from the phony beta page he had been to. I logged in and changed his password, and went to see what the damage was. It looked as tho the only thing missing was about a thousand gold. Not too bad. I later found after talking to Chip, that this person had run a raid with them on Saturday afternoon before I had gotten off work. Very strange that someone would steal an account, and then not only talk to the persons friends, but even go out and play with them. Maybe its just some loser kid in need of acne creams who was dumb enough to buy a stolen account. I havent logged in yet today so maybe there has been more going on with this.
I have almost farmed enough gold to finally purchase my epic flying mount. I lack just under another thousand gold, which i can hopefully finish tonight. 5k gold in three days is pretty damn good I have to admit, but it was boring as hell. I dunno how the gold farmers do it all day, and for like 10 cents an hour. No thanks. Im pretty confident that I will just be a one char kinda dude, but even if i do work a second toon one day I will either save from lvl1 or not even bother with the epic. With my druid being my main and probly only, I wanted to get ahead and get it out of the way before I am checking out Winter Park real estate in the frozen north come expansion. I guess after this its time to finish off cooking, and fishing. I may work a second profession, but as of right now that just sounds like more work.
For a couple weeks now its been in the back of my mind that Naobi was a bit cooped up, especially for her size. I tried to let her run around as much as possible, but with two kids, one of whom does nothing but irritate her (which irritates me), its a lot on the nerves sometimes. We arent big park people, and she really only got to go outside long enough for a potty break. So we finally started to think maybe we should find a better home for her. We found a woman who had a fenced in yard, lived alone, and already had a dog for naobi to play with. She also had a daughter that she kept a few days of the week at a time. I’ve never been so upset over an animal before, but as hard as it was to give her up I know we did the right thing. We have already heard back about how well she was doing with the other dog, and that she seems very happy in her new home. I still miss her like crazy, but I know she will be happier there. This post is now about candles, unfortunately it is also the end.
After my big decision to not finish saving for my epic flying mount I went and blew all of it on gems, enchants, and finishing out my rep with the Scryer’s, but even after getting pretty well geared for feral, its really frustrating how gimp our current setup is. I have once again flipped and decided to grind out a resto set to maximize our potential in arena. Of course before all that happens I wanted to get my epic first. So all that gold was pretty much wasted on a spec I will no longer be using. Sure it will be nice having the extra damage when I grind from 70-80 in the expansion, but was it worth the gold spent? Probly not. Fortunately I am already half of the way there, and will hopefully finish up in the next few days. I will probly finish up my rep with Sporreger, and help Tyler get revered with Cenarian for the extra damage enchant before I pack up my luggage and make the final change to resto. I really hope the expansion is still a long way away, so that I have plenty of time to enjoy my leet gear, before making the grind to 80.
We recently thought it would be a good idea to take the kids and go see wall-e. big mistake. just getting in cost 20 bucks, then we got to stand in line forever for some burnt ass popcorn and watered down coke. toss on another 20 bucks. i was pretty impressed by the new theater. the screen was super clear, and the sound was great. but thats where the problem started. the sound. it was just too damn loud. before we even got to our seats gavin was freaking the hell out, covering his ears, and saying he wanted to go home. jen managed to calm him down, and we made our way to our seats. as soon as we sat down and wall-e came on gavin started right back up again, but louder, and would not look at the screen at all. we gave him some time to get used to it while laura sat qiuetly watching the movie, until the explosions started and i could tell she was going to get scared and scooped her up. as long as i was holding her she was fine. she even clapped when when parts of earth were blown up, but gavin was now on the floor.
jen gets up to leave and swap out the sorry popcorn, and i am left debating on whether to leave and just eat the forty dollars wasted, or sit through the rest of this crappy movie while my son has a meltdown. We got out pretty fast, like crazy elliptical trainer fast, and luckily the manager was nice enough to give us credits for another movie. makes me think we arent the only ones to complain about the volume of the movie. id rather just have my damn money back tho. so ya wall-e was pretty shit-e.
Its been a long grind. long LONG bg grind for my gear, but late last night while going to buy a new piece i realized just how close i was to being finished with my honor gear. many hours spent reading the forums while my teamates fought tooth and nail to capture our bases despite being outnumbered do to afk’ers. its not so much that its boring, its just the repitition blizz has created by not making all the battlegrounds equal. the only one worth running is AV unless you just need marks. after your 20th run of the day you realy just dont care to fight your way to the end only to lose with the boss sitting a mere second or two from victory.
i wont miss it, but thats only cause i will be regrinding a second set for resto. /gag
i dont think the second round will be quite as bad since there wont be any rush to complete it. i dont plan to go full resto till we have reached our max with ms/feral. so if i only get a piece a week its all good. Its not so bad as long as you go for the best buy for your honor points so that you see an increase faster, and dont feel like you are wasting your time.
I love it how the higher up you get in a company the less you have to do, the more you bitch about everyone else, and the more money you make for all of it. its so awesome that i work with certain people who who make a shit ton more than me in their company logo shirts,yet do half the work. just great. the company you work for is paying you more for the extra responsibility YOU are supposed to have, yet you put it on someone else every time it pops up. its funny for someone who bitches so much about how other people are moving up faster , and that noone notices what they do, while in reality if someone really was paying more attention theyd have demoted your ass long ago.
i can only hope that i can have a part in all that…..and that you die in a fire.
i guess blogging can still serve a purpose. i feel better already.
