It was always a pleasure raiding with you, and any team where you are a part of will be extremely lucky. Be positive as always! And enjoy the holidays.

I wouldn’t put my ex-coworker past stealing a Christmas tree, haha, though I think this time it wasn’t her.

I don’t get why anyone would steal a Christmas tree in my town other than to grief. This is the Rocky Mountains! Christmas trees grow everywhere!

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciated it!

My new coworker started Saturday and it’s been amazing. Almost dreamlike. I’m sort of afraid to look away, in case I wake up!

I get very attached to guilds, but I’ve had my heart broken so often (and I’ve heard so many guild break up stories) that I’ve gotten to where I make the best out of the moment, and if it doesn’t last forever, then so be it.

In the past, I’ve been the one to change, to discover I needed something different. This time is a little different, but I know there are good guilds out there.

The question is, after falling behind on progression again, will they want me!

(Also, 3 am to raid… That’s dedication! I wouldn’t be against the 5 am raids though. 5 to 8 am, I could definitely work with.)

The only thing I want to comment to say is to cut yourself some slack. It’s often REALLY hard to realize when you’re in the middle of it exactly what is going on or what the best course of action is. I remember talking to you at that time and you were learning so much about how to handle the demands of your new career – it is pretty natural, I think, to have confused “normal demands of new career” with “unnecessary problems caused by someone who deserves to be fired.”

I’m really so glad that you were able to rectify the situation. And it sucks that your guild folded, but I’m likewise glad to hear you’re back where you feel at home for the time being. You didn’t need extra stress as you get back to a new normal at work! Hopefully a much improved normal that won’t make you feel sick all the time!

p.s. I read a news article that someone stole a Christmas tree from a department store in your town – I strongly suspect your ex-coworker as a likely culprit!! ;)

I know the type of people, and it always amazes me how long it takes for them to be exposed. Also good to hear that your higher ups seem to actually be listening and acting. Listening alone would not really be enough..

Also, you sound a bit bitter about the whole guilds break up, it’s a fact of WoW life thing. Or maybe not bitter, resigned? yeah, that might be the word.

I have been with my guild since the first day I play World of Warcraft. The guild has been around for 18 years or so now (since EQ) and has been there since day 1 of World of Warcraft. Yes, some people come and go, and I haven’t always had a happy place in the guild.

When I joined a US guild (being Dutch) I knew that it would not be easy to attend raids. So at first I found myself raiding at 3 am in the morning.

Currently we raid at 5 am on saturday and sunday morning. I’ve been doing this since a couple of years now.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes you can think you’ve found the perfect (the guild you were in), but it turns out not so perfect, and sometimes it just takes a little time and adjustment from both sides, and it turns out to be much more perfect than you thought at first.

You’ll find a new place, and in the mean time enjoy your stay with family :)
