Quitting and restarting Warcraft, job, TS Fay

I stopped playing World of Warcraft for about 2 months. I continued to read blogs about it and intended to pick it back up when the Wrath of the Lich King came out (which is supposed to be before Christmas 2008). Well I finally caved and reactivated my account. I’ve managed to get my rogue up to level 28. My last update here was for level 26 back on June 14. At this point, I’m really unsure if I’ll continue to try and play it since finding time to play has been difficult lately.

I started my new job almost three weeks ago. During the first two weeks, everything was awesome! I was busy and I was learning a new system AND I was writing code again! Well this past week, things have slowed down tremendously. I’ve been dragging out “research” assignments as much as possible and trying to pass the time any way that I can.

Tropical Storm Fay was supposed to hit Orlando almost directly! Well it didn’t. Fay went south and then east of Orlando. We didn’t get much in the form of wind and rain when we were “supposed” to (i.e. when Fay was south of us) but we did get a LOT of rain when Fay stalled out on the East coast of Florida! It rained for almost 4 full days. Some of the East coast counties received over 3 feet of rain over a 4 day period!

and my rogue hit 26 this morning – two levels while on-call. I guess being on-call is useful for something!

WoW fascination

So I’ve been playing WoW quite a bit lately. I’m re-fascinated with the game since I really started with my rogue (Backpain of Maiev). She’s dinged 24 just a few moments ago. Leveling combat-specced rogues while dual-wielding swords, seems like cheating in my opinion – everything seems to go down pretty fast with them!

That pally of mine (level 55) is on hold for a while. My account is due to be cancelled on 6/23 (15 days from now) but I don’t think I’m going to let it – at least that’s what I’m thinking now!
