In the last few weeks, work has been crazy. Last Monday an upgrade to our software platform was rolled out; we had training and other general system issues before that; and also, with 3 new people starting at about the same time as the upgrade, it’s a bit hectic. I’m happy to say though that the one non-bilingual new person was ‘assigned’ to me with me as their mentor. My boss said this was because of my great presence on the phone (ie me = awesome at my job ^.^). One step closer to being more than ‘just a temp’ imo!
Mondays. Bah.
Incoming Post of Random.
I do tech support for a living, not general public but for an internal help desk and it is SO much better than the former, which I have done before. Mondays are often our busiest day, given that some of our ‘clients’ either don’t bother calling in on the weekend (even though we do have someone here) or don’t even know we’re open on Sat/Sun. Today has thus far been pretty tame by comparison to the norm, though I don’t expect it to continue.
It’s gloomy and hazy and yesterday’s melted snow became icy sidewalks this morning. I’ve already had one bad wipe-out outside my apartment building – I pretty much skated to the bus stop today, the drive and sidewalk were completely iced over. I still have all my brains in my head and not on the pavement 
Back on the WoW front, last night we blasted through 10 man ICC with just me and Wulf (our awesome resto druid) healing. Normally we run 3 healers. It was fine with the exception of Saurfang beating the living crap out of the tanks on the gunship (for I’m On a Boat) and Sindragosa – where if one of us were ice-tombed it got um, hairy. I had to work a lot harder than I usually do in 10s, but I still enjoyed it. We also knocked out Flu Shot Shortage and Portal Jockey, which were not hard at all.
Tonight we head to Arthas, and I would be very surprised if we do not beat him. We spent some time working on phase 1 and 2 last week, and now with the zone buff from Wrynn I expect not too much trouble. As bizarre as it sounds, I’m probably going to cry when he dies. I’m a huge lore nerd and even though I know all the horrible things Arthas has done as the Lich King, I can’t help but feel sadness for having to kill him. Even in a game. I really get into good storylines in games I enjoy.
Remember what I said in the last post about making a blog and forgetting about it? Yeah. I did it again.
Anyways, long story short, my ex-roommate turned crazy-ex-girlfriend-like on me and did all kinds of crazy passive-aggressive or selfish crap before AND after I told her I was moving out. I found a great place over in the midwestern part of town, about the same distance from my parents’ and friends’ places; and just a bit farther from work. It’s on a major bus route so it’s really no problem. I’m really happy here. I do sometimes miss my kitty a bit, but she was always a bit wild so I’m sure she’s happy in the rural area she was taken to.
In light of recent events and happenings I’ve resurrected the blog and am looking for website hosting so I have somewhere to tinker around with coding and other things.
