Ahh, it’s different to what I’m used to being an EU player. The biggest time difference I’ve come across is 2 hours, it’s usually just 1 though 97% of the time (still in my experience not an actual figure :p). The most annoyance we have is raids starting at 6pm so if you work, you barely have time to relax and have dinner before raid starts. Can’t imagine how annoying it must be to have such drastically different timezones!

It’s actually not much different for anyone elses- working 8 to 5 is pretty typical. The timing of the raids was a killer though. I did end up leaving my guild (other reasons were at play too) and I’m taking some time to myself (read: to play Civ 5) before jumping back into the game.

On Twitter, I don’t usually unfollow people unless they’re REALLY annoying, but I’m always surprised at the sheer number of people (many of whom are highly intelligent and well adapted individuals as far I know) who use childish blows. Then again, I probably do stuff like that all time, but never noticed!

Ooh I hear you on the Twitter thing. I never understood the point in publicly denouncing somebody like that, it’s extremely immature. We all have issues with people from time to time, announcing it won’t make matters any better. And I do unfollow people for acting like that too.
And with a schedule like that, I don’t think I’d let myself raid. /bow – much respect to you for keeping up that schedule!

Not sure if you saw DM on the matter or not, but really don’t stress yourself too much over it; particularly if putting behind your own writing!

I’m going to have to go to a concerted effort of finding an appropriate topic for your return guest post as well; everything I’ve thought of lately has been at best on a WoW tangent.

If you have anything in particular you might want me to cover, send me a DM or somethin! Otherwise will try and let you know what I’ll do by end of tomorrow (my time).

Thanks for 1) the link (new traffic high 2) the kick in the pants to post after missing one last week. I won’t be upset you linked me when my site looked a touch stale

It was a totally random find, I promise!

Glad to be of service!

Thanks! I'm so nervous. I know I'll find something, but the conversing with recruiters and stuff is so nerve-wrecking!

You know, I’m constantly offending death knights by telling them how great bank alts they are.

The link was my pleasure. I don’t doubt the veracity of my claims. You’ve always been the writing cheerleader among the blogging circles I’m part of. And I’m working on that guest post for you! I’ve started bringing my netbook to work to write during my downtimes. No internet access, but at least I have wordpad.

Yep… I can’t wait to have an income above the poverty line! I’m just reminding myself that there’s only a few months to go and I can finally get a normal job like everyone else.
