The extended maintenance has ended, and it appears most (if not all) realms are up and available for use.Today's extended maintenance was particularly painful for me. I had to do the following, in order:
- Wake up and write The Queue
- Work on a couple other things for WoW Insider
- Clean the cat's box
- Go out to Barns & Noble and buy season 3 of Weeds and a couple books
- Pickup a Strawberry and Cream drink from the Starbucks at B&N
- Come home and take a nap
- Wake up from said nap with my cat stepping on my liver
- Make this post

Just be glad your cat's only stepping on your liver. Mine likes to step on my bladder at 3:00 in the morning when she's hungry and I haven't awakened to her sitting there, staring at me and purring loudly. So, phase 2? Step on bladder.
Yeah. She's a big cat (about the size of a cocker spaniel). You do the math.

I've been at work today hoping that the realms would be back up by the time I got home. This is good news for the 9-5 crowd (EST of course). Gotta work to pay the people to play the game :)

Agreed. I'm glad I have a job and don't sit around Tuesdays waiting for the game to be back up :)

+1. It's nice to be employed.
Though I have been cheating on WoW as of late.

one hour to go and when I get home, the realms will be up and waiting for me :) sometimes it's good to be gainfully employed (especially now..yikes!)
oh yeah, someone already said it, but get a job hippie!

Hell I wish I had a job even if it meant WoW chose to do its maintenence from 9p to 5a :(
This recession sucks. At least before Christmas I could temp.

If you hadn't left your liver out on the table, maybe the cat wouldn't have stepped on it.
Divni Mar 17th 2009 4:23PM
No ones said it yet?
No?
Ok, I guess I will then ..
Get a job!

And what if you're job is to write about WoW all day?

"riding in circles around Dalaran on my mount for hours as I wait for groups to form.
The story of my life, but i'm not even waiting for groups i'm just riding...

"riding in circles around Dalaran on my mount for hours as I wait for groups to form.
I do that every day also, I swear it's like the daytona 500 in there at some times.
Damn pally's with the crusader aura always pulling ahead .

Just wait for the new Aura Mastery (+100% to all auras - including Crusader = 40% speed) - You ain't seen nothing yet

I read these comments for valuable 'qq'.
Not to hear about your worthless opinions.
Braundo Mar 17th 2009 4:26PM
Your name is accurate, at least.
wmcmorrow Mar 17th 2009 4:40PM
You know, I used to wish that I didn't have to work and could just play wow all day. But now that I think about it, I'd get bored pretty quickly and eventually realize how empty my life is.
Just sayin'.

There's only 2 kinds of postings on WI that I don't much care for - the movies and the RP. I like all the others, Adam's navel gazings included.
Oh, and the 2 kinds I don't like? I don't read 'em, don't comment on 'em and don't let 'em get under my skin. Dumbass posters on the other hand...
Tyeton Mar 17th 2009 4:56PM
It's pretty funny to see people say they don't give a crap about what you've written....but yet take the time to read it. Wouldn't that fall under irony in the dictionary? or may hipocrasy? LOL
I have to say it might not have been chalk full of great information, but it kept me entertained while being bored at work.
Adam - try having a 90lb lab stepping on you first thing in the morning. That's better than any alarm clock :D

Grats on having the life of a 6th grader during summer recess.
Tyeton Mar 17th 2009 4:57PM
Geez I must be dozing...can't even type today.
let's try "maybe" instead of "may"
