work and WoW babble
Jun. 9th, 2009 01:34 pmSummer colds suck.
That's what I'm assuming my problem is... I woke up yesterday morning with what initially felt like a scratchy throat, but it's not actually my throat that is sore, it's the back of my soft palate. My nasal sinuses are doing something funky too. I'm feeling slightly better this afternoon, so I'm really hoping that it's not going to last long. It just totally figures that I'd get this on the last day of a 4 day weekend.
After a 4 day weekend, I came in to a monster pile of dictation to be done. This didn't surprise me in the slightest. This is good in that it keeps me really busy but at the same time... so much for being caught up. Ah well.
I did manage to get some of what I'd intended to do on the weekend done, but not all of it. The bathroom is absolutely spotless, and the kitchen is about 2/3 done, and the enormous pile of laundry is ALL done, but I still have a lot more to do.
An update to my "I'm quitting raiding" post from last week: On Friday night, I finally got a chance to talk to my Guild Leader. He'd spoken to the officer that I talked to on Wednesday, and made the comment that he totally understood that my life had changed considerably lately, implying that I wanted to quit because I had a new boyfriend. I told him that Ian wasn't actually the reason, since he usually works afternoon shift, but that it was just that my priorities had shifted. In the end, he was totally fine with the idea of me being a sort of perma-backup/substitute raider. I'm happy with that conclusion, as it means I will still get to see the end-game instances and raid once every few weeks (I'm hoping for 1 night every 2-3 weeks or so, preferably a Friday so I can not worry about not getting enough sleep for work the next day) but don't have to quit 100%. At the same time, it will be at my discretion... I can sign up when I feel like raiding or drop him a PM on the forums to let him know I'm available, without being kicked for lack of attendance. So I'm getting the best of both worlds.
Of course, this hasn't really impacted the amount of time I'm spending playing WoW... yet. Once I get myself organized, it will, but I played plenty this past weekend. I'm about 150 quests away from my Loremaster achievement now. I've spent way too much time in the past 2 days flying all over Azeroth turning in quests here, there, and everywhere, that's for sure.
