Err.. where's my stapler?
I was sitting at my cubicle reading an article on Wired about fighting video game bosses. You would think I'm a heavy gamer, but the truth is I'm a video game clutz. I sucked hard during the Atari days, and it hasn't improved since then. Plus, I find console games very very boring.
That doesn't mean I hate gaming. I love MMOGs. I wasted years of my life playing Everquest, and then World of Warcraft. I think I'm very good at those game, if I do say so myself. I just don't have the time to play them any more. You have to invest at least 4 or 5 hours a day to really play those games. I don't even have 4 or 5 hours a month to play them.
In case you wondered, I started playing a female Orc Shaman on WoW and then a female Undead Priest. I have more fun with the Priest than with the Shaman. Oddly enough, it's easier to solo with the Priest (shadow spec) than with the Shaman. I've dabbled with other classes, but I've stuck mainly with those.
So I'm reading this article when the lady across the room has her cell phone ring. She says "wait a minute, let me go closer to the window". That's when I realized, being close to the window is an unspoken perk in the corporate world. The more tangible ones are larger cubicles, not being on the end by a high traffic area (I hate people walking by seeing my monitor), a real office with a door (I miss my office in Savannah!), flat screen monitors, and of course a stapler. Having a stapler rules!
Lately, the companies I've worked for have had really poor cell phone coverage inside the building. Thankfully, I'm now close to a window and can get calls. Although I still have to use the community stapler at the printer, I have a cubicle close to the window which allows me to get calls! Woohoo!

I play with an undeaed mage or my human mage. I like priests to, but my main character to play with our mages. :)
I tried a Mage but kept dying. I'm sure it gets better in the 20s, but I gave up around level 18ish. I never got him out of the Barrens.
There are times I need my WoW fix, but now most of my old friends aren't playing. Dungeon crawling with a PUG isn't as much fun. When I have logged on, I've found myself just sitting at the flight master trying to decide where I want to fly to. Eventually I just log due to indecision.
I tried playing a dwarf paladin for a couple of weeks and just didn't like the Alliance side. I've always been partial to orcs and undead. Trolls have too much of a slouch to love.
